Bridgewater Bay - Blairgowrie Ocean Beach - clifftop Trail

Pix and Video taken on March 3 2013.

This was a 3 km clifftop hike along the Peninsula Coastal Trail, starting at the small car park at the end of St. John's Wood Rd, Blairgowrie Ocean Beach.

The views along this trail are in my opinion among the most spectacular in this section of the Mornington Peninsula National Park.

Bridgewater Bay, Mornington Peninsula National Park

These pix were taken on January 21, 2012 at Bridgewater Bay, Mornington Peninsula National Park, 80 km south of Melbourne.

They show the magnificent coastal scenery on the 2 km circuit track, starting at the small car park at the end of St. John's Wood Rd (Blairgowrie).

The signed track is mostly on sand, and a staircase of about 100 steps leads down to the Beach. There are some hilly sections, and seats at various vantage points.

Beware of the huge March flies which like to eat humans!

Part of the track follows the Lifesaver Track, which forms part of the long Peninsula Coastal Walk.

Pirate's Bay - Blaigowrie Ocean Beach - Mornington Peninsula National Park

Pirates' Bay is a beautiful secluded cove in the Mornington Peninsula National Park, facing Bass Strait.

It is about 80 km SE of Melbourne, in the municipality of Blairgowrie.

I visited this bay on Friday afternoon May 29, 2009, for a 4 km coastal hike along the cliff tops, which included nearby Bridgewater Bay, Prickly Rocks, and Pearse's Beach.

My visit started at the small car-park at the end of St. John's Wood Rd, reached from Melbourne Rd.

The coastal views from the clifftop were spectacular, extending from Cape Schank about 20 km to the south-east, to Portsea Ocean Beach in the north-west.

My route followed the Lifesaving Track, and is a section of the 40 km Coastal Walk which runs all the way from London Bridge, in the NW, to Cape Schank in the SE.

I had already completed 95% of this long walk, over several visits from 2007 to the present, and I am now finishing off the remaining 5%! When that is done, I will do the entire walk again.
