Navy / Sandy Beach (Somers)



Navy / Sandy Beach (Somers)

The beach is part of Sandy Point which is a 4.5 km long sand spit that has been deposited by waves and tides across the entrance to the north arm of Western Port. The point and beach are on Royal Australian Navy property, and it is therefore also called Navy Beach.

There is only foot access along the beach to Navy Beach which is 4.5 km long. There is off street parking at Somers Beach Parking Area at the corner of Belvedere Road and Miramar Road which has the "hundred steps" wooden staircase leading down to the beach.

The beach is relatively narrow and steep with deep water off the beach at high tide. Sand is exposed at low tide and there are no intertidal rock flats off the beach.

Swimming is best at mid to high tide, and relatively safe when the waves and wind are low. Most locals would swim at Somers or South beach rather than here.

The beach has a General Beach Hazard Rating of 3/10 (Least hazardous)
