Observatory Point is a 2 km long and up to 500 m wide accumulation of beaches deposited just inside Port Phillip over the past 6 000 years. They have been built by episodic swell, assisted by tidal currents penetrating the bay and moving sand along Nepean Bay, to accumulate on the point. Today they occupy nearly 100 hectares of low ridges. Much of the point is in the National Park; and the Marine Reserve extends to the point. The eastern section is in Commonwealth land. Access is either by boat or on foot from the Point Nepean Road.
