Kitty Miller Bay is a picturesque, circular bay on Phillip Island's southwest coast, featuring a dramatic 500-metre-long beach backed by rugged cliffs. Its expansive rock platform, fully exposed at low tide, reveals a wonderland of tidal rockpools perfect for snorkelling and exploration. The same platform creates gentle waves for surfers on higher tides. The bay is also home to the historic SS Speke shipwreck, visible near the eastern headland — a fascinating underwater relic for adventurous snorkelers to discover.
