Edwards Point Reserve on Bellarine Peninsula (my rating A)

Edwards Point Wildlife Reserve is on Bellarine Peninsula, near St. Lernards.  It's less than 2-hr drive from Melbourne city.

We started from the beach, passed the "Bays Lookout", to the tip of the park, on the way back, we explored the in-land trail "Bays Lookout Walk", but found it a bit boring, so went back to the beach, and did the return walk on the beach.  It took us 3.5 hrs return, including the snack time and play time.

The beach is fun to explore, lots of shells, pebbles and seaweed.  It's not the kind of beach for beach towels.

When we were there, the waves were calm,  Jessica loved it.

The only problem was we couldn't find any toilet.

(The in-land trail, quite narrow, and a bit boring to us)

You may go to Parks Victoria to find more info and download the map.
