Description
Monforts Beach is a secluded gem on the ocean beachside of Blairgowrie, located within the Mornington Peninsula National Park.
The beach is surrounded by Bridgewater Bay and Fowlers Beach, known for dangerous surf conditions. Swimming is not recommended due to exposed rocks and reefs, but the beach offers a unique environment for exploration.
Despite the hazardous surf conditions, Monforts Beach offers activities such as bathing in sheltered tidal pools during low tide, making it popular for families. Fishing enthusiasts can enjoy rock fishing along the reef-edge. Hiking lovers can access the beach through a scenic walk from Spray Point Road.
To plan a visit to Monforts Beach, consider the weather and tides. It is best to visit during low tide when the tidal pools are visible and the rocks and reefs are less of a threat. Summer is recommended for warmer weather and suitable water for outdoor activities.
Take the Nepean Highway from Melbourne and follow the signs to Blairgowrie. From there, head towards Spray Point Road and park at the end. The beach is accessible through a walk along the coastal trail, offering breathtaking views of the coastline.
