Balnarring Beach

Balnarring Beach is a town on the Mornington Peninsula in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, Шаблон:Convert south of Balnarring and approximately Шаблон:Convert south-east of Melbourne's Central Business District, located within the Shire of Mornington Peninsula local government area. Balnarring Beach recorded a population of 471 at the 2021 census.[1]

In 2006 it was rated by the Keep Australia Beautiful Council as 'Australia's Cleanest Beach', out of 317 beaches in five states.[2]

It was previously known as Tulum Beach.

History

The township was first gazetted in 1886, in a street configuration quite different to what exists today.

The beach first began to attract holidaymakers in the 1910s, and beach stores and kiosks commenced operations, serving both day-trippers and campers. The Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Club set up base here after their formation in 1924. During World War II, businesses were sustained by servicemen training at Somers.

In 1944, a mobile library operated from a private home for the Flinders Shire by Wally Turner. Balnarring Beach Post Office opened on 1 July 1947 and closed in 1978.[3] In 1960 the yacht club was given permission to erect a winch and slipway and build a clubhouse.[4]

Present day

Balnarring Beach (colloquially known as 'The Naz Beach') today consists primarily of holiday homes and camping grounds,[5] and contains a general store, picnic facilities and several caravan parks.[6] Most other services are provided by nearby Balnarring township.
