A person walking their dog on a Victorian beach has made the grisly discovery of a woman’s leg.

Police said the person was walking along Newhaven Beach on Phillip Island, near the San Remo bridge, about midday (AEST) on Sunday when they found the limb.

The woman’s identity is not known, the spokeswoman said.

“Police and State Emergency Service volunteers are about to launch a line search of the area to try and find more clues,” the spokeswoman said.

Homicide squad detectives were expected to arrive at the scene on Sunday afternoon.

A second leg has been sighted in waters off the Mornington Peninsula this afternoon after a woman’s left leg was discovered yesterday on a Phillip Island beach.

A ferry off Sorrento reported seeing the leg about 2pm today and water police are on their way to confirm the gruesome find.

A Victoria Police spokeswoman said homicide detectives were now investigating the discovery of a woman’s left leg by a person walking their dog on Newhaven Beach, near the San Remo bridge, yesterday and the right leg this afternoon.

The left leg had a floral tattoo on the foot.

Both limbs will be taken to the coroner for identification.

Police are appealing for anyone who believes they may have information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
