Daveys Bay

Daveys Bay

Daveys Bay is a small shallow bay in Port Phillip, Victoria, Australia. It is one of several small bays adjoining the small town of Mount Eliza and is the closest region of the Shire of Mornington Peninsula to Melbourne.

Daveys Bay is named after James Davey who built a jetty at the western end of the bay in the 1840s. Davey used the jetty to load his ketch with produce destined for the Melbourne markets.[1] Davey's Bay Yacht Club, founded in 1909, is located at the jetty.[2]

The north-eastern shoreline of Daveys Bay features an exposure of the Manyung Fault, part of the main Selwyn Fault system.[3]
