A quiet, beautiful location on the Mornington Peninsula. Close to the big local places such as Sorrento, but far enough away to enjoy your own slice of pure beach bliss!! The sun setting at the start of summer was definitely a winner!

St Andrews beach is a fair hike from the nearest car park and is generally empty, even on the hottest days of Summer. The signposts warning people from swimming here possibly have something to do with that.
