Portsea Front Beach

Book Direct with the Owner at Portsea Front Beach with Australia Accommodation in Portsea, for all your restaurant and Food Reservations.

Portsea’s ‘Front Beach’ is nestled within a sandy cove named ‘Weeroona Bay. The beach can be accessed via a pathway through the ‘W E Newton Reserve‘ to the historic 100 metres along Portsea Pier. The pier is a popular spot for snorkelling and a departure point for scuba diving tours. The water around the pier is a haven for fish and if you are lucky you may even see a weedy sea dragon. Immediately to the left of the pier is a small sandy beach. Follow the walkway around the corner to a long narrow beach dotted with pretty bathing boxes. This section of the beach inspired the painting by Penleigh Boyd and is part of the Sorrento-Portsea Artist Trail. To the right of the pier work is currently being undertaken to create a temporary rock bund to protect the sand bag wall during storms. Further to the right is a long narrow stretch of sandy beach. The water is usually calm and relatively safe for swimming but the tidal currents increase offshore. This beach is not patrolled by life savers. Dogs are allowed on leash between 7:00pm and 9:00am except during daylight savings....
