Barwon Bluff Marine Sanctuary

---

Barwon Bluff Marine Sanctuary covers about 17 hectares and is located at the mouth of the Barwon River at Barwon Heads, about 20 km to the west of the entrance to Port Phillip Bay.

The intertidal and shallow subtidal sandstone and basalt reefs of the marine sanctuary provide habitat for a diverse range of marine flora and fauna. The water of the reefs supports extensive kelp forests including thick patches of both Giant and Bull Kelp. The wrecks of two ships are located on the outer edges of the reef.

Things to Do
The marine sanctuary is a popular area for activities including swimming, rock pool rambling and snorkelling. The stands of Giant Kelp at Barwon Bluff provide an inviting swim for snorkellers, and the rock platforms are home to an abundance of life in easily accessed rockpools.
