Blanket Bay comprises a small collection of fishing and holiday shacks, and a camping area, located at the end of the circuitous Blanket Bay vehicle track, that runs off the Cape Otway Lighthouse Road. The bay is part of the Otway National Park. It faces east and is bordered by forested slopes to the west and rimmed by rocks and reefs to the east. Blanket Bay Beach is protected by the reefs and is used by the fishers to launch their boats. The beach is 200 m long. The smaller northern beach is located just north of the bay. Both beaches are fronted by a rock platform and reefs. Waves average 1.5 m outside the reefs, but are usually less than 1 m at the beach.
