One day
at The Cape

From the first swim to the last light over the wetlands. Everything you need for a good day is within walking distance of your front door.

Beach walk before
breakfast

The beach is just a short walk down the path. Explore rock pools at low tide, catch a clean break when the swell is right, or swim at patrolled beaches during summer at First Surf and the Bay beaches. Beyond, the Bunurong coastline stretches east towards Inverloch.
Most mornings, it’s just you, a few locals and the sound of Bass Strait.

The long way
home

Six kilometres of paths weave through The Cape, past wetlands, along the bushland edge and down to the beach, the township or up to Whale Watchers Lookout. Kids can ride safely, dogs can stretch their legs with a stop at the off-lead dog park. Every walk brings something different, from frogs calling in the reeds to kangaroos moving through the landscape and wrens darting through the scrub.

Thriving wetlands 

Restored wetlands filter stormwater and bring back birdlife, including migratory species that travel thousands of kilometres to reach this coastline and our nationally recognised wetlands.

Car-free connections

Walk or ride to the beach, the farm and the Cape Paterson township without crossing a busy road.

10:00 · The community farm

Dinner starts
in the garden

At the heart of The Cape is a community farm made for sharing. Harvest what’s in season, swap tips with neighbours and take home food grown just metres from your door. Produce is also shared with the wider local community and donated to local charities. For kids, it’s a chance to discover where food really comes from.

Game on,
down the road

The sports precinct gives the neighbourhood a place to play, train and come together. Have a hit of pickleball, roll a few ends of lawn bowls, shoot some hoops or kick a ball around on long summer evenings. 

Walk or ride, don’t drive

Connected to the trail network, so getting there is part of the exercise.

19:00 · Community & residents

Neighbours,
by name

Dinner on the deck with the sound of the waves in the distance. A neighbour drops by with something freshly picked from the Community Farm. Kids ride between houses, familiar faces stop for a chat, and twilight gatherings turn neighbours into friends.

People come to The Cape for the coast, the space and a different way of living. They stay for the community.
