Frankston Beach forms the southern end of the 9 km long beach that runs almost due north to the Patterson River mouth at Carrum. The Frankston section is 2.5 km long and begins at the southern boat launching area. It includes the 500 m long Frankston Pier, Kananook Creek mouth and the beach to the north. The beach averages 50 m in width, with a moderate to steep shoreline. Bayward of this are three bars. The inner bar is usually highly rhythmic, consisting of alternating shallow attached bars and shoals, separated by bays with deeper rip holes and channels, spaced about every 150 m. The second less rhythmic bar lies up to 100 m off the beach, while the third straight bar may be up to 200 m offshore. The three bars are clearly visible from the pier, though waves will only break on the outer two, when they are greater than 1 m. Frankston Beach houses the lifesaving club, founded in 1924, and is backed by the town with all facilities, including the Frankston Pier. Parking is available at the boat ramp, pier and lifesaving club.
