Beaches in Port Phillip

Port Phillip is in Victoria, Australia. It has many beaches, most of which are flat, shallow and long, with very small breaks making swimming quite safe. This attracts many tourists, mostly families, to the beaches of Port Phillip during the summer months and school holidays. Water sports such as body boarding and swimming are common, though waves are very rarely large enough for surfing. A number of lifesaving clubs operate along Port Phillip’s beaches.

Most sandy beaches are located on the northern, eastern and southern shorelines, while the western shorelines host a few sandy beaches, there mostly exists a greater variety of beaches, swampy wetlands and mangroves. The occasional pebble beach and easy sand dunes can also be found, mostly in the southern reaches.
