St. Andrews Beach Travel Guide

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.

The room was clean but car park too small to fit my car. Also gate was very noisy and should be oiled to prevent this.

Room spotless, entire property well tended. Wished that pizza restaurant would not close at 4pm Bar staff not attentive to service; we had to insist repeatedly to get attention although at least 5 employees behind the bar.
