The Bays...
Port Philip Bay. - Sandringham, St Kilda, Mornington and Sorrento
 Surrounded by beach front cafes, secluded beaches and
cliff features, filled with a profusion of wildlife (penguins, dolphins
and seals), wetlands and many sites of historical significance (including
half submerged warships and submarines), it is easy to overlook as it is
so close the heart of Melbourne.
Once out on the bay and away from the city bustle, the sea kayaker can
escape from it all and discover a new world. The penguin rookery at St.
Kilda is a two minute paddle from busy Fitzroy St at dusk.
Westernport Bay.
Bounded by the Mornington Peninsular and Philip Is. with
French Is as its "jewel in the crown" this body of water provides
one of the best opportunities to come close to nature. Renowned for its
wetlands and sensitive ecological features it really is the place where
every sea kayaker can silently ..take their memories, photos and NOT
leave any footprints..

away" adventure. The Prom as a national park of world class status is protected
from over development and the so the number of visitors is limited.

fern-filled gullies, Banksia woodland and rainforest.

The Surf Coast and the Great
Ocean Road.
The Great Ocean
Road is one the most spectacular destinations in Australia. With the ocean
on one side, the rugged Otway Ranges tumbling down to the sea on the other, the
road winds its way endlessly past small beachside villages, towering ocean
views and deep rain forested gullies.
The ocean road by sea kayak is even more breathtaking taking in Torquay
and Bells Beach, Lorne, Wye and Kennet River villages.

experience unforgettable.
