The Bay of Martyrs Overlook is just west of Peterborough. When you arrive, you will be treated to this sweeping seascape accented with large, jagged boulders along the sand plus an isolated isle. Hikers enjoy the 2.5 mile coastal Cliff Top Walk, also called Bay of Martyrs Trail, that begins at the carpark. As pretty as this scenery is, it may have a dark past. According to legend, this is near where Karrae-Wurrong Aboriginal men were run off the cliff by European settlers. The massacre resulted in the name Bay of Martyrs.
