Situated on the
popular holiday destination of Melbourne's Mornington Peninsula
and nestled between Tootgarook and Blairgowrie is the coastal
town of Rye.
Rye's main beach,
fronting Port Phillip Bay, offers safe sandy beaches, a jetty,
and attractive foreshore facilities. From 2001 to 2007, the
foreshore was the venue of an annual sand sculpting event which
showcased the talents of artists as they carved figurines and
landscapes out of tonnes of sand. Point Nepean Road separates
the wide foreshore from Rye's main shopping strip.
|
Around a kilometre
west of the Rye Jetty is an outcrop of land called White Cliffs.
At the base of the cliffs is a reconstructed old Lime Burners Kiln
- a reminder of the mid-1800s when the extraction of lime was the
area's primary industry. Scenic views along the coast can be
enjoyed from lookout above the kiln.
Rye Ocean Beach,
officially in the suburb of St Andrews Beach, is a 5 kilometre
drive south of the town centre. The beach fronts the choppy waters
of Bass Strait and the foreshore forms part of the Mornington
Peninsula National Park which runs along the rugged coastline,
providing spectacular walks and scenery.
