Introduction:

The bayside suburb of Beaumaris is located on Port Phillip Bay, between Black Rock and Mentone.

Beaumaris is in an interesting location, on a headland that almost surrounds the entire suburb on three sides by water, with its extremities at Ricketts Point and Table Rock Point. The coastline consists of a mixture of sandy beaches and sections of steep cliffs. A pedestrian and bicycle trail follows the entire length of the Beaumaris coastline, along the cliff tops and beaches. A couple of yachting clubs are situated on the foreshore as well as a jetty, picnic areas and BBQ facilities.

The main commercial centre of Beaumaris is situated off Reserve Road, bounded by shops fronting the the North, South and East Concourse, creating a central square of gardens and car parking. A couple of smaller centres are located on Balcombe Road and along Keys Street at the coastal boulevard of Beach Road.
