Bridgewater Bay

Australia, Australia

---

Bridgewater Bay is a scenic coastal spot on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia, located in the town of Blairgowrie on the western side of Pearce’s Beach.

It forms a broad, amphitheatre‑like cove with high sandstone cliffs and a wide stretch of rocky foreshore that gives way to large, tide‑dependent rock pools at low water. The bay is especially popular with families and nature lovers because these pools teem with small marine life such as starfish, crabs, and tiny fish, and there is even a natural “ocean pool” on the outer rock shelf for safer swimming.

The beach is not patrolled, so swimming can be risky when the surf is strong, but the area is free to visit and offers peaceful clifftop walks, dramatic coastal views, and a quieter, less crowded feel compared with other nearby beaches.
