Cheviot Beach
Australia, Australia
Cheviot Beach is a secluded, hazardous stretch of sandy shoreline near Point Nepean on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula in Australia, backed by high limestone cliffs and fronted by rocky reefs.
Named after the SS Cheviot shipwreck in 1887 that claimed 35 lives, it gained tragic fame in 1967 when Prime Minister Harold Holt vanished while swimming there, presumed drowned amid powerful rips and waves.
Now part of Point Nepean National Park with no public beach access for safety—rated extremely dangerous by Surf Life Saving—a clifftop memorial and lookout on Cheviot Hill offer views for reflection on its maritime and political history.
