McCrae

McCrae is a small coastal village between Dromana and Rosebud on the shores of Port Phillip with a supermarket as well as cafes and restaurants. The McCrae Lighthouse is a prominent local landmark that was built to mark the turning point for shipping in the main navigational channels between Port Phillip Heads and Melbourne.

Safe swimming can be had at the picturesque white sandy beaches along the length of the foreshore reserve from the headland of Anthony’s Nose to Rosebud. There is also camping available in the foreshore reserve in the warmer months. This coastal strip is known as the foreshore and forms part of the 28 kilometre Bay Trail for walkers and cyclists that runs along the Port Phillip coastline from Safety Beach to Portsea.
