St Leonards: Indented Head Boat Ramp - The Foreshore - Port Phillip Bay
Few places on the Bellarine Peninsula have a history as closely tied to bay transport as Indented Head. On the western shore of Port Phillip Bay, it developed as a small coastal settlement whose jetties connected the peninsula with Melbourne and other communities around the bay. Indented Head Boat Ramp continues that maritime role, providing access to Port Phillip’s broad, relatively sheltered waters for local boats. A low foreshore of coastal vegetation and residential streets follows the bay at nearby St Leonards. This stretch of coast lies on Wadawurrung Country.

St Leonards is best known within Victoria for its sheltered shoreline on Port Phillip Bay. Set on the Bellarine Peninsula, this small coastal township looks across the bay towards Melbourne while retaining a distinctly local, low-rise character. St Leonards Pier is a longstanding waterfront landmark and a focal point for fishing and walks beside the water. To the west, Edwards Point Wildlife Reserve protects coastal saltmarsh, mudflats and woodland that provide habitat for waterbirds. The town stands on Wadawurrung Country, within a peninsula shaped by enduring Aboriginal connections to coast and sea.
