Werribee South: Foreshore, Jetty and Bay Trail

Experience Werribee South Foreshore as a coastal destination with several ways to enjoy your leisure time. This stretch of coast on Port Phillip Bay is ideal for picnics and offers views across the bay; from Werribee South Jetty, the view extends to the You Yangs. There are also opportunities to fish from the jetty and sandy beach, the Wyndham Bay Trail, and activities on the water. This gives you several specific options to consider when planning your trip: time by the shore, a ride along the trail, or getting out on the water by boat or paddle craft.

Fishing and views at the jetty

At Werribee South Foreshore, you can fish from the jetty or sandy beach; local conditions may vary. The jetty is also a lookout point, with views across the bay to the You Yangs. This gives you a clear choice of spots along the same stretch of coast: both the sandy beach and jetty are options for fishing, while the jetty also combines the activity with views of the bay and the You Yangs. If you mainly want to stay by the shore during your visit, this combination is a useful starting point for planning your day.

A picnic break at the foreshore

Werribee South Foreshore is a stretch of coast on the bay that is ideal for picnics and offers views across Port Phillip Bay. The foreshore also has a children’s playground and barbecue areas. This gives you several specific options for spending time by the shore: a picnic break, views across the bay, and the facilities available. This coastal option differs from a trail outing or an activity on the water, and helps you weigh up the different ways to enjoy your time in Werribee South.

Explore the Wyndham Bay Trail

The Wyndham Bay Trail passes Werribee South Beach. Coastal views lie on one side and market gardens on the other, so the route showcases different aspects of the surrounding area. From Werribee South Foreshore, you can walk or cycle along the trail to Wyndham Harbour. The return trip is 5 kilometres, giving the outing a specific distance. This lets you consider it alongside a stay at the foreshore and choose between a walk and a bike ride. As conditions on the route can change, check for current advice before setting out.

Boating and paddling

Boating, canoeing, kayaking and jet skiing are possible at Werribee South Foreshore. Access is via the large boat ramp and car park. This offers a dedicated option for spending time on the water, alongside staying by the shore or taking a trip along the Bay Trail. Werribee South Boat Ramp is near the mouth of the Werribee River at the foreshore. Check for current advice on using the ramp before travelling there. This allows you to factor water sports and the journey to the boat ramp into your plans.
