点评:What an exceptional way to finish my trip to the Mornington Peninsula... to wake up on my last day and go for a stroll along Shoreham Beach. Known as a peaceful escape, it is less commercialised than other Peninsula beaches, offering a "hidden gem" experience.
It is a serene, 700-meter-long coastal retreat facing east toward Phillip Island. Characterised by a sheltered shoreline, rocky outcrops, and a natural, pine-lined foreshore, it provides a quiet, family-friendly atmosphere. It is ideal for calm swimming, exploring rocky bays, and taking coastal walks near the mouth of Stony Creek.
The beach features a wide sandy stretch at mid-to-high tide, bordered by a grassy foreshore reserve with picnic areas and historic pines planted in the early 20th century.
The area transforms from rocky shoreline to sandy stretches, perfect for exploring, especially around the mouth of Stony Creek.
It is important to note that the beach has no surf lifesavers and is subject to changing tidal conditions, with extensive reef flats exposed at low tide.

肖勒姆海滩是一处静谧的海岸休憩胜地,长700米,面向东方,与菲利普岛遥遥相望。这里海岸线隐蔽,点缀着嶙峋的岩石,还有天然的松树林立的滨海地带,营造出宁静祥和、适合家庭游玩的氛围。这里是游泳、探索岩石海湾以及在斯托尼溪入海口附近进行海岸漫步的理想场所。
在中高潮时,海滩会呈现出宽阔的沙滩,沙滩边缘是绿草茵茵的滨海保护区,设有野餐区和种植于20世纪初的古老松树。
这片区域从岩石海岸线逐渐过渡到沙滩,非常适合探索,尤其是在斯托尼溪入海口附近。
值得注意的是,该海滩没有冲浪救生员,并且会受到潮汐条件变化的影响,低潮时会露出大片礁滩。
