Werribee South Beach

Werribee South Beach is a sandy foreshore on Port Phillip Bay at Werribee South in the City of Wyndham, Victoria, about 35 kilometres southwest of Melbourne. The beach features a long, flat sandy shoreline with shallow waters, backed by a foreshore reserve with parkland and picnic facilities. It is known for calm bay swimming, fishing, kite and windsurfing, and views across the bay, serving as a popular local recreation area for residents and visitors.

Visitors can expect a long, flat sandy beach on the northern shore of Port Phillip Bay with shallow, generally calm water and wide open views across the bay. The beach is backed by the Werribee South Foreshore Reserve with grassed areas, picnic shelters and pathways. The setting is open and exposed with limited natural shade on the sand. Visitors can walk along the shoreline, swim, fish from the beach, observe kite and windsurfers when winds are favourable, and use the reserve for picnics and relaxation.

Werribee South developed from the late 19th century as an irrigated farming and market garden district supported by the Werribee River and Werribee Irrigation District. The Port Phillip Bay foreshore at Werribee South has long been used as a local recreational coastline for the Wyndham district, with the foreshore reserve maintained for public recreation and coastal access.

The beach is a valued community recreation area for residents of Wyndham and greater Melbourne, used for family picnics, fishing, swimming and water sports, and forms part of the Port Phillip Bay coastal landscape that supports local leisure and connection to the bay.
