Merricks Beach Hike, Westernport Bay

On Saturday January 16, 2009, I went down to Balnarring Beach, on Westernport Bay, about 70 km south of Melbourne.

From the small car park at the at the end of Seawind Rd, I followed the coastline to the Merricks Yacht Club, on Merricks Beach.

My return was via the same roure, about 4 km in total.

There was plenty of activity along the beach - swimming, beachcombing, rockpooling, mini-surfing, sandcastle building, yachting, small boats, and suntanning!

Merricks Coastline beach hike

On Monday November 9, 2009, I went down to the Merricks Beach, about 70 km south of Melbourne, on Westernport Bay.

From the car park, my coastal hike took me to the Eastern Creek Estuary, at Point Leo.

Much of the hike was in the ocean - the water was very warm - a hot day at 35 degrees!

The hike was 4 km in total, and there were nice views across the Bay to Phillip Island.
