I visited this magnificent ocean beach on February 22 2009, on a 4 km (return) coastal walk west to St Andrew's Beach.

This coast and beach is for everyone - paddling, swimming in the shallows, surfing, fishing, exploring the rocks, admiring the views, or having a picnic!

The beach is patrolled by the Gunnamutta Surf and Rescue group, and flags mark the boundaries for safe swimming.

The tide was out, exposing a vast array of rock pools.

The surf was up, with big waves!

The coastal vews were superb, with Cape Schank and the Lighthouse to the east, and the long sweeping beaches to Point Nepean to the west.

Horseriding is permitted along the beach to the west.

The Beach is at the end of Trueman's Rd, turn off from the Point Nepean Rd at Tootgarook.

An admission fee of $4.40 per car is charged for entry.
