Werribee South: Coast, Jetty and Bay Trail

Werribee South shows its coastal side along the foreshore: From Werribee South Jetty, views stretch across the bay to the You Yangs. Fishing, water activities and places to pause outdoors come together along the shore. This makes the area appealing for a stay where scenery and activity on the water go hand in hand. When looking for a holiday rental, it’s worth first considering the kind of day you want: Should the focus be on boating and paddling, a walk by the water, or a tour along the coast? Werribee South offers several specific starting points for different kinds of days.

Fishing and views at the jetty

Visitors can fish from Werribee South Jetty, which is located at the mouth of the Werribee River. From there, views stretch across the bay to the You Yangs. Fishing is also possible along the Werribee South Foreshore, both from the jetty and from the sandy beach. This gives you two spots along the shore for the same activity: you can choose between the jetty and the sand, depending on which perspective appeals to you. Local conditions can vary, so it’s a good idea to keep your fishing plans flexible.

Water activities and breaks at the foreshore

Boating, canoeing, kayaking and jet skiing are possible at the foreshore, with access via the large boat ramp and car park. Those who prefer to stay on land will find a children’s playground and barbecue areas there. The coastal stretch is also suitable for picnics and offers views across Port Phillip Bay. For families, the playground is a specific point of interest; barbecue areas and picnic facilities invite you to plan a visit to the shore as a stay in its own right, rather than just a stop along a route.

Werribee South Boat Ramp is located near the mouth of the Werribee River, on the Werribee South Foreshore. If you’re considering this facility when planning your trip, check for current information before you arrive.

Coastal views and market gardens along the Bay Trail

The Wyndham Bay Trail offers a different focus. It passes Werribee South Beach, with coastal views on one side and market gardens on the other. From the Werribee South Foreshore, visitors can walk or cycle along the trail to Wyndham Harbour. The return journey is 5 kilometres. This gives you the choice of a walk or a bike ride, with the same destination either way. Conditions along the route can change, which is worth taking into account when planning.

Choose the right focus for your holiday

When looking for a holiday rental in Werribee South, the kind of day you want can be a good place to start. At the foreshore, you can combine different activities and breaks by the water; the Bay Trail offers a named route with a destination and stated return distance. If you enjoy switching between water sports, fishing and a break outdoors, plan around the foreshore. If you prefer a set route, the trail offers a specific starting point.
