点评:Firstly- where is this beach? You can only access it next to the Golf Course. The beach next to the pier is Kennon Cove Beach -as per maps. Follow Golf Links Road - about half way down the green, you will be able to drive into the carpark area towards the beach. There are two access points- the first one has stairs with a viewing deck. The second lower carpark, you walk through the dunes to arrive at the beach.
The beach is a moody, Jekyll-and-Hyde coastal spot on the Mornington Peninsula where rugged basalt cliffs meet a sprawling marine sanctuary. It’s a place to find weedy sea dragons in the low-tide rock-pools, treasure-hunt for lost golf balls near the fairway, and witness dramatic waves crashing over rocky reefs.
The shore near the golf course is a veritable treasure trove for lost Titleists; you can practically fill a bucket with "found" golf balls without trying.
At high tide, it’s a narrow strip of pebbles and sand; at low tide, a massive, muddy-mushroom-shaped rocky reef (the Mushroom Reef Marine Sanctuary) appears like a giant, slippery treasure hunt.
It’s the perfect place to explore when you want to feel tiny against huge nature or, conversely, feel like a giant exploring a miniature, seaweed-filled world.
翻译:首先,这片海滩在哪里?你只能从高尔夫球场旁边进入。码头旁边的海滩是肯农湾海滩(Kennon Cove Beach),地图上是这么标注的。沿着高尔夫球场路(Golf Links Road)行驶,大约走到一半,你就能开车进入通往海滩的停车场。海滩有两个入口——第一个入口有台阶和一个观景台。第二个入口在较低的停车场,你需要穿过沙丘才能到达海滩。
这片海滩位于莫宁顿半岛,是一个充满神秘色彩、仿佛拥有双重人格的海岸胜地,崎岖的玄武岩悬崖与广袤的海洋保护区交相辉映。在这里,你可以在退潮后的岩池里发现海藻,在球道附近寻找遗落的高尔夫球,还能亲眼目睹波涛汹涌地拍打着礁石。
高尔夫球场附近的海岸简直是遗落的泰特利斯特(Titleist)高尔夫球的宝库;你几乎不用费力就能装满一桶“捡到”的高尔夫球。
涨潮时,这里是一条狭窄的鹅卵石和沙滩;退潮时,巨大的、泥泞的蘑菇状岩礁(蘑菇礁海洋保护区)显露出来,宛如一场巨大的、湿滑的寻宝游戏。
如果你想感受大自然的渺小,或者反过来,想体验一把巨人探索微缩海藻世界的感觉,这里都是绝佳的去处。
