Blairgowrie is located on a thin strip of the Mornington Peninsula, facing Port Phillip Bay in the north and Bass Strait in the south, nestled between the popular beach resorts of Rye and Sorrento.

A compact commercial centre is situated opposite the beach front on Port Phillip Bay, featuring speciality shops and cafes. The shops are set back from the main coastal road and are surrounded by parkland.

Spectacular walks and scenery can be enjoyed in the Mornington Peninsula National Park which runs along the rugged Bass Strait coastline. A popular coastal feature for visitors is Bridgwater Bay which is surrounded by a scenic, rocky coastline and features a number of walking tracks and steps down to the beach below.

Calm and safe sandy beaches front onto Port Phillip Bay which are popular with swimmers and sunbakers. Also fronting Port Phillip Bay is the expansive Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron boat harbour which is a hive of water craft activity.
