Summer is here so it’s time to seas the day,
Plan your Werribee South seascape and explore delicious food along the way!
There’s something very soothing about the seaside. It allows you to drift into a calm and meditative state as you watch the waves effortlessly roll in, dramatically crash and then recede. A gentle sea breeze speaks to the soul and clears the clutter, elevating you to a place of complete well-being.
If you’re looking for a seascape, consider the untouched coastline of Werribee South! It’s an area teeming with opportunities to explore above and below the water.
Kick off the day by heading to Wyndham Cache for a hearty breakfast. This café and deli serve up a range of quirky-titled dishes including a ‘Bread Zeppelin’ which will have you rocking your way to the shore. Other culinary delights include a ‘French & Sinders’ crepe, ‘Smash Mouth’, ‘Piggy Smalls’ and more!
After something cheerful? Head to Oh Happy Day café in Point Cook. This bright, cheerful and welcoming café makes eating fun – how about Fry Me Up Scotty? To Fu or not to Fu? Or, Putting on the Fritz? There are loads of different options to choose from!
If pot to plate is your bag, head over to The Garden Feast for all-day brunch. You’ll be buzzing with energy after you tuck into the panna cotta with lemon myrtle yoghurt and passionfruit curd, or ready to kayak like a King after The Big Garden Breakfast of eggs, Sebago hash browns, braised greens and roasted field mushrooms!
With a happy belly, make your way to the Werribee South Foreshore and enjoy the drive along the rich red soil of Werribee South’s market gardens. Werribee South is recognised as the broad leaf vegetable capital of Australia with over 3,000 hectares of cultivated land, adding to the unspoilt feel of the Werribee South Foreshore! You’ll feel a world away.
Once you reach the Foreshore, parking is available in designated bays and on street. Find a spot on the shelly sand and lay out your towel-but remember to keep 1.5 metres apart! A good guide is to use the length of a large beach towel. Then get set to enjoy the spectacular stretch of coastline!
The beach at Werribee South remains in its natural state and the water is shallow enough to wade about. You’ll sink into beachside bliss in no time, as you take in the backdrop of bobbing boats and the salty sea spray.
Love fishing? Werribee South Beach is a perfect place to catch bream, squid, snapper and flathead. Launch your boat at the ramp, fish from the jetty or throw in a line from the sand and watch eager pelicans flap about to inspect your catch!
There’s also a dedicated place to launch your jets skis or go canoeing or kayaking further upstream. Shaded BBQs are available, as well as picnic areas and playgrounds providing a fun day out for the entire family.
If you’re up for some exercise, amble amongst the Norfolk pines that elegantly line the beach and then drive up to Campbell’s Cove. Here you’ll find colourful and quirky boathouses set along a rugged patch of coastline. Pick out your favourite colour and take a happy snap!
Worried about beach safety? Rest assured that for a six-week period over the summer school holidays, Werribee South Beach will have professional lifeguards from LSV patrolling the beach from 11am to 7pm each day. And to keep the fun rolling, there will be recreational activities for families and young people to enjoy during the summer season!
If you’ve still got some time to explore, extend your waterfront experience and drop by Wyndham Harbour, the world-class marina. It’s a stunning hub for recreational boating, regattas and races and there’s a diverse selection of eateries to suit everyone’s tastes.
Along with all the marina activities, it’s really an ideal spot for some fresh air on land. Stroll along the boardwalk and enjoy a spot of fish and chips from Sam’s Catch, or take the crew for a wood-fired pizza lunch at 3030 Boulevard. Then sit on the dock of the bay and enjoy the sweeping view of Port Phillip Bay and the Melbourne city skyline.
See you on the flip side!
