I have been coming to this beach for over 15 years, but as I moved away from the area I hadn't been in a while. I was pleasantly surprised due to the changes to this and subsequent beaches along the coast here. They are in the process of upgrading the bike and pedestrian paths at street level and have put in small carparks where you can pay with an app or credit card or coins. I highly recommend the app as you only pay for the amount of time you are there. Otherwise try and find off street free parking across the road, but watch for permit zones, as you can't park there unless you have a permit or you will be fined. The beach itself can be accessed easily and limited or no steps and different entry points. So those with mobility issues it is a great beach to visit safely. In the warmer months it is popular due to the fact that it isn't a dangerous beach and the water is quite warm. Families love this area too as the beach is long and wide enough to play sports, build sandcastles and incredibly child friendly. It isn't a patrolled beach, but the nearest one is Mordialloc Beach. If you have a dog, check the signs for allowances. It is also a great place to photograph sunsets and rock formations. There are also upper and lower walkways, so you have a choice for where to exercise. It is also worth noting that this is a super clean beach and I have seen COVID cleaners wiping down railings etc recently. There are a few shops nearby, train line [the Frankston Line] a bit further in, just in case you need snacks or don't want to drive here. Definitely worth a visit.
