We had a ball on this beach after our lunch at Alatonero, a Greek restaurant at McCrae on the Mornington Peninsula. We played beach cricket, flew kites and had a kick around with the soccer ball. This beach is close to many places to eat.... you can choose Fish and Chips to eat on the beach or have a sit down meal. You have it all at McCrae beach.

You can swim and also do a little track walk from Mills beach to the Shire Hall beach. There're a few lookout points on the track so you can view the 2 beaches from different angles. A nice protected beach close to Arthur's Seat, so if you can definitely go up the hill in the morning then come down to the beach in the afternoon.

I have walked to Point King Beach on two occasions, both via the Millionaire's Walk [see other review]. It is a secluded beach with crystal clear water, a long stretch of golden sands surrounded by high cliffs, some fancy homes, a few wooden jetties and the some pastel-shaded beach huts. A photographers dream. At the top entrance to the beach there is a historical marker and one of the Artist Trail [see separate review] placards for you to read. On a clear day you can watch the Sorrento Ferry coming and going. You can also watch the locals in their speed boats, the fisherman in their fishing vessels and occasionally jet skiers. It is a safe place to swim for all ages, but access isn't the easiest, especially for those with mobility issues. There aren't any toilets or shops that I could see in this area. Great place to visit and in low tide to walk around the cove. Once COVID-19 restrictions are over do yourself a favour and visit this stunning place.
4. Mornington Peninsula National Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 74 reviews
Mornington Peninsula National Park is a favourite of Melburnians looking to escape the nearby city. Experienced surfers flock to Gunamatta Beach, while rockpools at Sorrento Ocean Beach, close to town, are perfect for families. Dip into the excellent surf beaches of the Mornington Peninsula National Park. Tackle the waves of Gunnamatta, Flinders, Portsea and Rye ocean beaches. Step out on The Coastal Walk for spectacular coastal views. The two-day walk meanders along high clifftops, through coastal vegetation and past stunning ocean beaches. A haven for native wildlife such as kangaroos, Greens Bush is the largest fragment of native bushland remaining on the Mornington Peninsula.

A great spot at the southern tip of the mornington peninsula area. From the beaches of Sorrento/Portsea to the pretty cape schanck area with its lighthouse it has a bit of everything. add in wildlife areas such as Greens Bush with its abundant wallabies and kangaroos or the beaches of fingal/gunnamatta or flinders, you will find reasons to return time and time again. So many spots to visit that you will want to return more than once

The place was bustling. Great beach, with great spots for picnics and waters to swim in. It also has a pier to jump off into the waters.

Clean, clear water and a safe depth for children. We swam morning, lunchtime and evening and the water was lovely. It is very shallow until you go a long way out. The sand is fine and clean with lots of shells.

Wild and windy, the back beach with its stunning coastline views will blow away the cobwebs and make you feel happy to be alive! In direct contrast to the safe and calm Sorrento front beach for dogs and little kids, the crashing waves of the back beach dare any able surfer and swimmer, and the surrounds offer rock pools to explore, tracks for walking, free car parking and a cafe with a great view. Come away from the back beach feeling suitably invigorated! Our regular visits to Sorrento always include time spent at this great spot where nature shows off its finest.

Mount Martha is one of the best beaches on the Mornington Peninsula; it's about an hour and a half drive from Melbourne. The beach is 2 kms long, split into two sections by a creek. The locals are trying to save the northern part of the beach, although the government does not seem to be enthusiastic. Mt Martha has some of the best beach-boxes in the State. The Mt Martha Surf Lifesaving Club patrols the beach.
