Read Morechelsea beach, chelsea

.This would have to be one of Mamma’s favourite stretches of beaches in the South. Perfect for both walking the dog in Winter and shallow with sandbanks for swimming with the kids in Summer.
There’s a pier that you can stroll along, bright colourful beach houses to check out and if you walk further down towards Carrum, you will connect to an awesome walking track along Patterson River.
Close to a great strip of shops with loads of fantastic cafes, so grab a takeaway coffee or lunch and picnic on the beach!
Mamma's special mention:
There’s a fantastic playground on the foreshore - make sure to check out Chelsea Beach Playground when you can visit safely.

Toilets located at the playground -
Some free street parking and ticketed parking
