Koonya Beach

Koonya Beach is one of a number of wild and dangerous beaches on the Bass Strait coast of the Mornington Peninsula. The steep incline of the beach down to the often giant surf causes powerful undertows. Koonya is a very beautiful beach but is probably more suited to surf fishing and beachcombing than for swimming and surfing because of the dangerous conditions. There is a lookout close to the car park which makes the area a good stop off point for ocean views. The path to the beach is steep with steps.
