Tulum Beach - coastal hike Balnarring Beach to Somers Beach

These pictures were taken on Saturday afternoon January 15, 2011, on a 5 km (return) coastal hike on Tulum Beach, 80 km SE of Melbourne, on Westernport Bay.

Tulum Beach extends from Balnarring Beach in the west to Somers Beach in the east. It's a popular destination for beachwalking, swimming, paddling, snorkling, yachting, kayaking, kite-surfing, hound-walking, canoeing, fishing, boating, photography, rockpooling and suntanning.

Cricket matches were in progress on the beach!

The Merricks Creek Estuary flows into the Bay at Somers, and can be easily crossed at flow tide.

The Coolart Woodlands are adjacent to the beach, on the opposite side of the Creek, reached by footbridges.

Lots of action on a hot summer's day!
