Peterborough Beach

Peterborough is situated along the Great Ocean Road, just a short drive from the Twelve Apostles and Port Campbell.

Peterborough Beach feels like a world away, yet it’s just minutes from the amenities of the town. This stunning ocean beach features surging waves and a permanent rip at the eastern end, making it an exhilarating spot for experienced swimmers and surfers. For those who prefer calmer waters, the lagoon provides excellent fishing opportunities, whether from the shore or the rocks.

Visitors should exercise caution at all times in the intertidal zone, as rock pools and shelves exposed at low tide can be quickly covered by incoming tides or larger waves.

With nearby parking and picnic areas, it’s easy to spend the whole day here soaking up the sun and enjoying the outdoors. Explore the nearby Bay of Martyrs and Bay of Islands Coastal Park for scenic walks with breathtaking views. If you’re lucky, you might spot migrating whales during the cooler months.
