Beaches + Coastline

Breathe in the salty air and slow down by the sea.

Just an hour from Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula is home to some of Victoria’s most spectacular beaches and rugged coastlines.

Whether you're chasing soft golden sands for a family day out, dramatic cliffs and surf breaks, or hidden coves perfect for a peaceful escape.  You'll find your ideal stretch of coast right here.

From calm bay beaches ideal for swimming and stand-up paddleboarding, to wild ocean shores where waves roll in from Bass Strait, our coastal landscapes invite you to relax, explore, and connect with nature. Discover walking trails that hug the shoreline, scenic lookouts, tidal rockpools, and beach towns with a laid-back charm all their own.

Start planning your next coastal adventure on the Mornington Peninsula, where the beach is always within reach.  Explore Mornington Peninsula Best Beaches here.

Number 16 Beach

The spectacular rock formations makes this pristine ocean beach a must visit destination for photographers. Number 16 Beach is best visited at low tide to explore the rock pools, catch a fish or to get the best shot of 'Dragon Head Rock'.

The rocks are covered in seaweed and extremely slippery so it is best to wear practical footwear and remain aware of tides and dangerous surf conditions during your visit.

The beach is accessed via a small car park opposite a general store, with a sandy track over the dunes leading to steep stairs. The sandy beach is a picturesque spot for a stroll or to sit and watch the sunset.

This beach is not patrolled and is not recommended for swimming.

The car park marks the approximate half way point of the 26 kilometre long coastal walk through the National Park from Cape Schanck to Sorrento Ocean Beach.
