Wild Dog Cove is a 500 m wide bay on the western side of Peterborough. It is a circular, south facing bay, backed by 10 m high red limestone cliffs, with a shallow bay floor dominated by limestone reefs. The bay has 1 km of shoreline, with four small pocket beaches and one longer beach adjacent to the Great Ocean Road. All the beaches are located at the base of the cliffs and receive low to often calm waves, particularly at low tide. A foreshore reserve backs all the beaches. The four small beaches (461 to 464) lie in a row on the eastern side of the bay. Each is backed by the red bluffs and is well protected by the shallow bay reefs. Access to each is by steps or a climb down the bluffs. The 500 m long main beach (465) parallels the road and has vegetated bluffs, a car park and steps in the centre of the beach. read more
