Limeburners Bay is a broad, sandy estuarine inlet located within the City of Greater Geelong, forming a significant part of the internationally significant Port Phillip Bay wetland system. Characterized by open, shallow tidal waters, the bay is a key ecological area supporting the largest remaining stand of white mangroves in Port Phillip Bay and one of the most intact saltmarsh complexes. This mix of sandy substrate, tidal flats, mangroves, and saltmarsh creates a highly productive environment that attracts a high diversity of birdlife and serves as key habitat for numerous species. The area is a favored location for recreational fishing, hiking, and birdwatching, offering anglers a mix of sheltered estuarine and open bay fishing opportunities.
