Patrolled Beaches

Lifesavers are only on duty when the red and yellow flags are displayed. Remember to always swim between the flags at a patrolled beach.

There are a number of patrolled beaches around the Mornington Peninsula.

Point Leo Surf Beach – an attractive, well-maintained beach that offers safe family bathing in summer. The beach backs onto Point Leo Foreshore Reserve, which contains a public park and facilities such as toilets, drinking water, BBQs, tables and playground.

Gunnamatta Beach –  a very hazardous beach, with an average of 113 rescues per year, second only to its neighbouring Portsea Beach. Gunnamatta Beach is an exposed, high energy beach with a wide rip dominated surf zone. Make sure to only swim between the flags. Has facilities such as toilets and drinking water.

Mount Martha Beach – it is a popular beach with facilities that include showers, toilets, and drinking water. Parks and shops are close by.  If visiting with young children or poor swimmers, be aware there is a drop-off close to the shore.

Mills Beach, Mornington – a popular beach just off the Esplanade, with a grassy picnic area, lifesaving club and a kiosk. Other facilities include toilets, BBQs and tables.

Frankston Beach – relatively safe on the inner bar and in the patrolled area. Watch children as deeper troughs and holes are common. Do not jump off the pier, as the outer bars are shallow. A full range of amenities including toilets, cafe & kiosk, BBQs, grass, tables, picnic areas, shade and shops close by.

Portsea Beach – this beach averages 143 rescues a year, the highest in Victoria. Therefore, the beach is best suited to experienced bathers and surfers.  Definitely stay on the bar and between the flags, and clear of the rips, rocks and reefs, particularly at low tide when the rips intensify. Facilities include toilets and a kiosk.

Sorrento Ocean Beach – a popular beach for sun bathers and those wanting more action than at the Sorrento Bay Beach; and relatively safe under average waves. Facilities include toilets, drinking water, BBQs, picnic area and kiosk.

  • 🚨WARNING: scroll on by if tattoos aren’t your cup of tea!🫣
I’d been toying with wanting a tattoo to commemorate the relationship I held with my godfather since his passing. 
From my very start we were kindred spirits - the wild ones, the hey ho, we won’t go when/wherever we’re supposed to, the loving, giving, sharing, caring out loud ones - mixed with very strong wills. 
We did what we wanted, though it may have shaved a few years off our parents lives (sorry about the ditching school, mom), but if you asked us for something - a favour, a ride, a buck - we were there in a flash. 
We are the (self proclaimed) black sheep. 
Part of the pack, but a little different. 
So this one is for you, Uncle Walt! I know you’re watching. 
With me forever. β€οΈβš«οΈπŸ‘

  • πŸ’¦ Been to @waterbombali ?!?!
What a mostly awesome day! 

I had just been talking with daughter, swinging our clasped hands as we walked from one slide to another, and saying, y’know, when you’re my age you probably won’t remember this family vacation at all.

Then she got stuck in a tube slide..her lanky body not having the mass to go back up, she instead slid back and forth like the pendulum pirate ship rides until coming to a stop and having to climb her way out on her own.
πŸ₯΄
So I’m assuming that 4 seconds will be etched for all of eternity instead of the jet skiing, cabanas, parasailing, swimming, or anything else magical. 
πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
Today calls for a chillax day. Nothing heavy. One she’ll forget.

  • WORRY. 
Are they going to be ok? Am I doing a good enough job? I wish they’d talk to me more. Why aren’t they talking to me more? What are they thinking? Who are they talking to, if not me? I hope they know they can. And I’ve got their backs. And I’m always here. Worrying.
