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.

Moondah Beach

This quiet family beach stretching over 1.5 kilometres is a favourite with locals. Colourful bathing boxes line sections of the sandy beach.

Surrounded by bluffs, the beach is accessed by steps at either end of the beach. Entry points are at Sturio Parade or from a small off street parking area on the corner of Earimil Drive and Kunyung Road.

Swimming is best at low tide as there is a deep channel and rip holes. There are some rocky patches and it is best to avoid these. This beach is not patrolled
