Ok then, off we go...

The Victorian Coastline fronts The Great Southern Ocean, Bass Straight and the Tasman Sea

"The Beach is a magical place. A place meant to be explored barefoot. A place where all sound is created by the elements. You go down to the beach with questions, sift through the sand for answers and leave with a renewed sense of self"

Jim Champion

These beaches offer swimmers calm waters for cooling down on those hot, hot summer days.

There are also Sea Baths to swim at all year round, protected from extreme forces of nature and those big sea creatures that swim the bay waters.

Heading West out of the City you pass the busy port of Melbourne and down towards the Bellarine Peninsula

Here we find beautiful, calm and safe swimming beaches.

A Beachcomber's Paradise and an area where sunsets and sunrises are a photographer's dream

Head East of the city and you can enjoy the safe swimming beaches that are so popular with the locals.

Fly a kite, rollerblade, cycle, swim, snorkel, scuba dive, beachcombe, sunbake or walk the dog, whatever takes your fancy the Nepean Highway will take you down the paradise strip.

Visit my favorite suburban beaches at Frankston

If you head further East of Melbourne to the end of the Nepean Highway you will reach the Mornington Peninsular and its Top Beaches

Here you find clear waters that are safe to swim in with soft golden sand beaches.

These stretch all the way down the coastline to the Bay's entrance.

On the Ocean side of the Peninsula surf the majestic waves rolling in from Bass Straight.

These surf beaches are patrolled weekends and during the busy summer months.

Check with the local Tourist Information Center for up to date information.

These Back Beaches are great to Beachcombe and Fossick. The rockpools are a delight to view some of the most amazing marine life....a great educational experience for all the family

Following on from these back beaches you arrive at the Fascinating Westernport Bay

This extensive Tidal Bay covers an area of 680 sq kms, nearly half of which is exposed as mudflats at low tide

Here are nestled the Islands of Phillip, French and Churchill. Each of these offer different marine encounters and discoveries. There are different recreational activities that can be enjoyed on each of these islands.

There are secluded inlets, sandy beaches, great fishing places, rocky outcrops for the adventurous and fascinating Marine Parks to explore.

The extensive coastline of Gippsland offers great swimming, calm waters for safe family fun or dramatic, wave-crashing surf for the more adventurous.

Long stretches of unspoiled sanded beaches, huge sand dunes in some areas, fabulous surf waves and fascinating shallow rock pools

Fish this great coastline, go kite flying and explore the bordering forests and woodlands.

The Great Ocean Road delivers something for swimmers of all ages and abilities.

From sheltered foreshores to crashing ocean waves. Picnic, explore, rock climb, beachcombe, fossik or just plain enjoy yourself for the pure pleasure that this amazing part of the world has to offer

There are so many other places to see and enjoy that I have found myself or have heard about from my friends.

Victoria's southern coastline is full of Top Beaches and I believe there are places that are yet to be discovered.

I would love you to let me know if you have found such a place.
