Immediately west of London Bridge, the Mornington Peninsula National Park is separated from its western tip by 3.5 km of Commonwealth Land, which contains six beaches. All are platform beaches, consisting of narrow, high tide strips of sand. They are backed by 30 to 40 m high calcarenite bluffs and fronted by usually continuous intertidal rock flats, with patchy reefs offshore. They also face south-west and receive waves averaging 1.7 m on the outer reefs. The beaches are awash at high tide, but fronted by usually continuous rock flats at low tide, with reef dominated surf zones. Access is restricted to all six beaches. The first four can only be reached on foot along the coast from London Bridge. A road runs to the top of the western end of Rifle Range Beach, and there is a viewing area on the 50 m high Cheviot Hill, behind Cheviot Beach. There is a steep descent to the beach from the road. read more
