Boatsheds and bathing boxes are icons of the Victorian beachscape and occupy a unique role in bayside beach life. Many of these structures also have historic and cultural significance. The Shire of Mornington Peninsula manages about 850 boxes or sheds and is a planning authority for over 1300 boxes in total.
The bathing boxes are located on the peninsula’s foreshore from Mount Eliza down to Portsea. Mount Martha has around 250, Mornington 150, Dromana 240 (not managed by the Shire) , Rosebud/McCrae 160, Mount Eliza 110, Safety Beach 55 and Portsea around 80.
