Rye's front beach is on the bay and is good for family swimming and snorkelling, with a 300 metre pier and an underwater snorkel trail off it. It isn't patrolled. The foreshore has a wooden adventure playground with slides, a flying fox and climbing ropes.
Rye also has an ocean beach on Bass Strait, with clifftop walks. Gunnamatta, a surf beach at Fingal, is the one for surfers, and Beachsafe rates it very hazardous for swimming.
The Dunes Golf Links is in Rye. It takes online bookings, and Golf Australia Magazine ranked it 7th in its 2025 Top 100 Public Access Courses. Peninsula Hot Springs and Alba Thermal Springs are both at Fingal, and Moonlit Sanctuary is at Pearcedale.
Our Rye homes include family beach houses and bigger homes with a private pool and a spa, such as The Indoor-Outdoor Retreat. The grid below shows every home we have here today.
