On the south side of Port Fairy, Ocean Drive runs past the caravan park and west along the shore for 2 km. There are three car parks along the road that give direct access to the shore. The shore is fringed by continuous basalt reefs lying 100 to 200 m offshore. In lee of the reef are two beaches, both bordered by low, basalt rocks. The first is South or Pea Soup Beach. It is a 500 m long, south facing beach. It adjoins a smaller, 200 m long beach that is backed by scarped dunes and, in places, a protective basalt seawall. The reefs completely protect the wide, low beaches at low tide. Shallow lagoons lie between the beaches and the reefs. At high tide, small waves reach the beaches and wash over continuous, shallow bars with no rips. read more
