Review:

Near the Beaumaris Life Saving Club there is a car park near a large area of inter-tidal rock platforms where dogs are prohibited at all times. After this area which has a table and toilets, there is a long beach which ends at the Rickett's Point Beachside Cafe. After a short distance you reach the end of the beach at the Disabled Divers Ramp where there is a bluestone toilet and bins.

Nearby is some artwork Boon Wurrung Blossom by Ellen Jose. 'Blossom - the flower of a plant especially one producing an edible fruit' The edible fruit of the Boon Wurrung Blossom is reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. The bluestone is laid on crushed yellow ochre sandstone, with the base encircled by indigenous flowering plants. Each rock represents one of the six clans that made up the Boon Wurrung: Yallukit Wiliam, Ngaruk Wiliam, Mayune Baluk, Boon Wurrung Balug, Yownegerra and Yatiock Balluk.

There are a number of car parks which have a parking fee 7 days a week 8am - 8pm including public holidays. The cost is about $6 per hour / $18 daily.
