St Andrews Beach is located on the Bass Strait side of the southern Mornington Peninsula and it is south of Rye. It was first subdivided in the 1950s and the subdivision was originally marketed as "Capri by the Sea". In the 1960s a golf course (since closed) was constructed and the subdivision was remarketed as St. Andrews by the Sea. Originally the homes that were built were small holiday homes but later in the 20th century more substantial homes began to be built as its location became more appreciated. At this time the name St Andrews Beach was adopted by the Council as its official name. It is in the Local Government Area of the Shire of Mornington Peninsula. At the 2001 census, St Andrews Beach had a population of 664[1] and at the 2007 Census the population was 769.[2]

Golfers have a choice of several nearby golf courses including the St Andrews Beach Club on Sandy Road.[3]
