Point Leo Surf Beach is a picturesque spot located in the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia. It consists of a fairly exposed reef break, offering consistent surf conditions throughout the year, making it suitable for all levels of surfers. The beach faces almost due south and is protected from high ocean waves by its location within Western Port Bay, providing a generally safe environment for family swimming and other beach activities. The surrounding area is characterized by low basalt bluffs, with extensive intertidal rock platforms and some offshore reefs, creating a unique landscape. The beach is backed by a well-maintained foreshore reserve, complete with amenities like a camping area and a surf lifesaving club.
Point Leo Beach is known for its gentle waves, ideal for children to play in, and during peak times, it can become quite crowded. The kiosk at the beach offers refreshments and ice creams, enhancing the visitor experience. The area also supports local wildlife, such as the endangered hooded plover, which adds to its natural appeal.
The combination of good surf, family-friendly conditions, and accessible facilities make Point Leo a popular destination for both surf enthusiasts and families seeking a relaxed beach outing.
