Altona Beach, Sandy beach in Victoria, Australia
The beach stretches for 3 kilometers along the coastline, featuring a 500-meter-long pier and wide intertidal sand flats with shallow waters.
The establishment of the Altona Life Saving Club in 1927 initiated organized safety patrols, marking the beginning of structured beach management in the area.
The beach area incorporates the Hobsons Bay Coastal Trail, connecting visitors to the maritime heritage sites and wetlands of the Melbourne region.
The beach provides year-round accessible matting for water entry, free beach wheelchair rentals during summer weekends, and multiple parking areas along the Esplanade.
Altona Beach became the first Australian beach to install permanent accessibility matting, enabling individuals with mobility needs to access the water throughout the year.
