Coastal reserve on Mornington’s Esplanade offering sandy beaches, rocky foregrounds, a nearby pier and moored boats — strong sunrise and sunset compositions, tide-dependent rock pools and long-exposure seascapes. No entry fee; parking along Esplanade and a short accessible promenade. Best at dawn for golden hour and calm water, low tide for exposed rocks, weekdays for fewer people. Facilities and cafes nearby; popular with locals and dog-walkers.
