Sandy Point is the northern equivalent of Phillip Island's Observation Point. It is a 4.5 km long sand spit that has been deposited by waves and tides across the entrance to the North Arm of Western Port. The point and beach are on Royal Australian Navy property, and it is therefore also called Navy Beach. There is public access to the roads and small car parks above South Beach, but only foot access along the beach to Navy Beach. South Beach is located on the eastern Somers foreshore, at the foot of 20 m high bluffs, containing a bushy foreshore reserve. The bluffs terminate at the end of the beach, where the long Sandy Point begins. Both beaches face south and are exposed primarily to wind waves generated within Western Port, and occasional ocean swell. Both have relatively narrow, steep beaches with deep water off the beach at high tide, but tidal flats exposed at low tide. South Beach has intertidal rock flats off the beach, while Sandy Point is all sand. read more
