Shoreham

History

Shoreham began as a port for timber exports from the surrounding area. Early reports of the area suggested the region was "thick with honeysuckle and sheoak" and early settlers in the Balnarring and Hastings region were involved in wattle bark stripping and cutting piles and sleepers for shipping to Melbourne via the town. Shoreham Post Office opened on 1 October 1881. The following places in Shoreham are listed on the Victorian Heritage Register: * Lyncroft, 410 Tucks Road * The Pines Foreshore Reserve, commonly called The Pines, Beach Road and Cliff Road
