💡 Tips

  • The Frankston train line runs directly through the municipality, making beach hopping very straightforward.
  • During summer weekends, beach parking gets snapped up quickly; arrive early or take the train.
  • Check out the local life-saving clubs; they often have kiosks or cafes right on the sand with the best views.
  • Bayside biking is great here, as the Bay Trail gives relatively flat and continuous paths along the coast.
