Accessible beach matting

Mordialloc and Carrum beaches have beach matting to provide a firm platform at the water’s edge. This enables access to the beach for people who use wheelchairs or have mobility difficulties.

The beach matting is rolled out by volunteer lifeguards on weekends during the respective Life Saving Club’s patrolled hours.
