Beaumaris Foreshore Reserve at left and Mentone Foreshore Reserve at right, at Charman Road, 22nd November 1998

The Beaumaris Foreshore Reserve and seabed here, up to and to the left of Cliff Grove, is part of the Beaumaris Bay Fossil Site on the

Register of the National Estate, and is part of the longest section of the Bayside foreshore reserve without any concrete, car parks or buildings.

The Mentone Foreshore Reserve, which starts at the right of the junction of Charman and Beach Roads above, has an artificially renourished sandy

beach in front of a masonry sea wall behind which is what were vertical white clay cliffs until they were sloped back and vegetated in the 1930s.

This head of Beaumaris Bay was saved around 1970 by Beaumaris Conservation Society and Mordialloc-Beaumaris Conservation League

helping to convince the then Mordialloc City Council to reject a proposal by Jackson Bros Marine to build a large marina here
