You've got the sandbar across the bay, it's broken to the south by the shipping channel but back in the days before the channel it was possible to walk/wade across the bay at low tide and everything shipped to Geelong had to be bought in via a shallow draft tender.

Inside the sandbar there isn't a whole lot of structure but it drops down to 10m in places, around the Grammar School Lagoon and the north side of the bay there are a lot of shallow seagrass beds.
