Rye Pier Snorkelling Trail (Octopus Garden)
Discover an underwater world of plants and fish by exploring an 200m long underwater trail that leads along under Rye Pier. Underwater signs explain about sea life that may be found including seahorses, sponge gardens, sea slugs, hermit crabs and goat fish. If you are very lucky you might see a weedy sea dragon.
A sign near the Pier gives detailed explanations of how to follow the trail. You will need your own snorkelling equipment (mask and snorkel). Water depths vary from 0.5m to 3m.
Other good destinations for novice snorkellers include the Mornington and Portsea piers.
There is a nice playground next to the pier.
