Raise money for Portsea Surf Life Saving Club

The Portsea Surf Life Saving Club was formed in 1949 by a group of local residents to protect the lives of swimmers at the notoriously dangerous Mt. Levy Beach, commonly referred to as the Portsea Back Beach. The beach is part of the Pt. Nepean National Park, which is managed by Parks Victoria. Since 1949 members have been responsible for saving over 4,500 lives on our beach.

In recent years attendance at the Portsea Back Beach has increased due to improved access to the Peninsula. Equipment owned and operated by the Club in the daily operation of the service is valued at $140,000 and includes 10 modern Inshore Rescue Boats (IRBs) and engines, and a four-wheel drive beach vehicle. This Lifeguard service is funded jointly by the Mornington Peninsula Shire and the Portsea Surf Life Saving Club for the safety of the many swimmers who use the beach during this peak holiday period.
