Tidal wetlands, salt pans and reedbeds popular with waders and waterbirds; shoot mirrored reflections, bird behaviour and sweeping coastal panoramas at sunrise/sunset. Easy, free access from Foreshore Rd with small parking areas and flat boardwalks; respect Wathaurong country. Best light is dawn for active birds and soft backlight, or golden-hour sunsets for warm reflections. Weekdays and low tide can change bird locations—check tide times and bring insect repellent.
