Beaumaris: Melbourne's beachside gem

Melbourne's stunning coastline is home to many quaint, beachy, seaside towns. But one gem that stands out from the rest is Beaumaris, located approximately 20 km south of Melbourne's city centre.

Here you'll find a relaxed lifestyle, quiet streets, great schools and enough room for the kids to get active.

A picturesque environment

Beaumaris is situated on a headland surrounded by the blue waters of Port Phillip Bay. And it's this coastline in Beaumaris that makes living here so wonderful.

Locals often enjoy walking or biking along the coastline's many trails and tracks that weave and wind along the cliff tops. These are perfect for a stroll, leisurely cycle or, for the more adventurous, morning run!

Down at Ricketts Point you'll find great facilities for family picnics, BBQs and calm, shallow waters that are perfect for splashing around in. Ricketts Point is also home to its own marine sanctuary, so kids can enjoy looking at the marine life that live in the many rockpools here.

Around the Beaumaris Bay lies Mentone Beach. This 1.5 km stretch provides enough room for swimming, dog walking and even a spot of surfing if the waves are right!

Family friendly feel

Beaumaris' great environment makes it an ideal place for families with kids. In fact, 2011 Census data shows that over half of all households in the suburb have children. Its quiet, safe surroundings and the ability to get to know your neighbour​s means it's a community that cares about its residents.

The many schools in the suburb, ranging from St Joseph's Primary through to Mentone Girls' Secondary College, means children of all ages have much to choose from! There's even a handful of kindergartens and early learning childhood centres only minutes away from houses for rent or sale in Beaumaris.

Beaumaris also boasts wonderful shopping facilities at the small Beaumaris Concourse Centre, including restaurants, medical facilities and shops. A few kilometres away you'll find a Westfield in neighbouring suburb of Southland.
