The Bay Trail is a shared use path for cyclists and pedestrians which follows the coastline of Port Phillip Bay through the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.[1][2][3]
The trail begins at Austin Road, Seaford near the Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands viewing platform and travels north. The trail ends just north of the West Gate Bridge in Port Melbourne. On weekends, a punt ferries pedestrians and bicycles across the Yarra River to Spotswood in the city's west.
North of Brighton, the path is split into separate facilities for pedestrians and cyclists, which are also popular with inline skaters.
While the path is not well signed in the Seaford to Mentone Life Saving Club section, signage becomes more prominent from there to the city, making it easy to navigate the route.
