Blairgowrie is known for a five-kilometre-long beach, a section of the Bay Trail and dive sites in the town and surrounding area. This offers several perspectives for planning your trip: the local coastline, a shared path through Blairgowrie and activities on the water. When planning tours, be sure to check availability in advance.

Beach and coastal scenery

Blairgowrie Beach is five kilometres long. In the wider regional area, it marks the beginning of a 24-kilometre north-facing arc of long sandy beaches and broad expanses of sand. This coastal arc stretches from The Sisters to Martha Point. The two scales are distinct: the five kilometres refer to Blairgowrie Beach itself, while the 24 kilometres refer to the broader coastal landscape. This lets you put the local beach in context while also considering the wider coastline.

Bay Trail: shops and Moonah groves

A short section of the Bay Trail runs through Blairgowrie’s shops, opposite St Johns Wood Road and as far as Camerons Bight. The Blairgowrie section is a shared path for pedestrians and cyclists. Along the beach, the Blairgowrie Bay Trail passes through impressive Moonah groves. The shops define the section in town, while the Moonah groves shape the beach section. Since pedestrians and cyclists share the path, you can factor both ways of getting around into your day’s plans.

Foreshore and practical information

The foreshore reserve at Blairgowrie Beach includes boat ramps and a camping area. If you are considering the camping area as a place to stay overnight, check its current availability in advance. Toilets are near Wilsons Road at Blairgowrie Beach; if they are important for your visit, confirm that they are currently accessible. Cafés and a supermarket opposite the beach offer refreshments. Individual businesses may change, so it is worth checking that the places you want to visit are open before you go.

Blairgowrie Pier is nearby, just outside the town. It is about 280 metres long, leads to the marina and a safe harbour for boats, and is used for scuba diving and snorkelling. Steep steps lead down to the pier from the car park on Point Nepean Road. Check the current parking situation before setting out, and take the steps into account when planning your visit.

Diving in Blairgowrie

Nudibranch Wall in Blairgowrie is one of Bayplay Adventure’s dive sites. Check current tour availability directly with the operator before making diving a fixed part of your day’s plans. The distinction is useful when choosing activities: scuba diving and snorkelling are possible at Blairgowrie Pier, while Nudibranch Wall is part of a tour offering whose availability you should confirm in advance.
