Balnarring Beach is a serene and picturesque coastal town located on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia. It is approximately 65 km south-east of Melbourne's central business district and offers a tranquil escape with its sweeping crescents of coastline and a foreshore reserve. The area is rich in natural beauty, featuring a 70ha nature reserve along Western Port Bay, which is part of the Western Port Biosphere and a Ramsar-listed wetland. This beach was once rated as 'Australia's Cleanest Beach' and is ideal for swimming, camping, and walking, with activities like sailing and snorkelling also available. It's a perfect spot for those looking to connect with nature and enjoy a relaxed coastal lifestyle.
The beach offers stunning views, especially during early morning walks when the sun rises over the calm waters. Horse riding is a common sight early in the mornings, adding to the charm of the area.
Balnarring Beach is also known for its dolphin sightings, although they are occasional, and the nearby attractions include the Merricks Creek and associated wetlands, making it a haven for nature lovers and families alike.
