This beach is very quiet, especially the colorful houses next to it. It is as charming as Brighton Beach. The sand is white and fine, the coastline is long and the water is shallow. The elderly and children have a lot of fun ~ Have a great time🥳

Gorgeous beach. Crystal clear but cold water. A bit more private the further away from the kiosk you walk. No waves.

Great local beach, soft sand, toilets, cafe/kiosk. Parking can be difficult during peak times so get in early if you're there for the day.

Simply gorgeous. Plenty of parking. Close to Mornington which has plenty of cafes and wonderful shops to explore. Mills Beach has lots of rocks to explore and gorgeous beach boxes.

Great sandy beach, shallow water, superb for children. Toilet and showers available just needs a cafe or refreshment kiosk to be open.
