Mount Richmond VIC 3305
Discovery Bay Coastal Park is a majestic 50 km sweep of ocean beach, huge dunes, Aboriginal middens and coastal lakes. The park is excellent for visitors interested in observing bird life along the vast stretches of sandy beach.
Things to do
Attractions include freshwater lakes, massive dune systems, magnificent coastal cliffs, volcanic features and sweeping ocean beaches.
Outstanding features of Discovery Bay Coastal Park at Cape Bridgewater include a seal colony, blowholes, the "petrified forest" and the highest coastal cliffs in Victoria, 130 metres above sea level.
The Bridgewater Lakes within the Park, 16 km west of Portland, are popular for picnics, swimming, boating, water skiing and surf-fishing.
Other activities include surfing, scenic driving, walking (The Great South West Walk passes through Discovery Bay Coastal Park) and camping at Swan Lake and Lake Monibeong.
Discovery Bay Coastal Park can be a friendly or quite hostile place, so come prepared for fluctuations in weather.
For the latest information on track closures and park access, please see the Parks Victoria website. Be bushfire smart. Follow the Parks Victoria checklist before travelling.
