Discovery Bay Coastal Park Victoria

Discovery Bay Coastal Park is a majestic 50 km sweep of ocean beach, huge dunes, Aboriginal middens and coastal lakes.

Flora & FaunaThe Park is an important habitat for the endangered Hooded Plover and many other waders migrating from overseas. When walking above the high tide line, please watch for eggs, as nests can be found in very exposed locations on the beach, especially between August and February. Take care also not to disturb birds as they are very easily scared away from their nesting sites.

Discovery Bay Coastal Park consists mainly of low vegetation. The main plant species found within the Park include Coast Wattle, Coast Beard-heath, correa and Pink and Yellow Flowering Yellow Gum. There are also reeds, bulrushes and sedges.
