About St Andrews Beach
St Andrews Beach is a small coastal locality on the southern tip of the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, approximately 70 kilometres south-east of Melbourne CBD within the Mornington Peninsula Shire. The community has a population of around 974 residents living in a compact 3 square kilometre area of low-density housing among coastal scrub and dunes. With a median household income of around 0,000 and a mix of holiday homes and permanent residences, the area has a relaxed, semi-rural coastal character.
The locality sits near the spectacular surf beach at Gunnamatta — one of Victoria's most iconic (and challenging) surf beaches — as well as the more sheltered St Andrews Beach itself. The area is popular with surfers, nature lovers, and those seeking a peaceful lifestyle away from suburban Melbourne. Public transport options are limited and a car is essential, though the Peninsula Link freeway has improved connections to Frankston and Melbourne. The surrounding Mornington Peninsula wine and food region adds to the lifestyle appeal for both residents and weekend visitors.
St Andrews Beach falls under postcode 3941 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Nepean (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
