Mornington Peninsula

Mornington Peninsula is scattered with historic seaside villages. On the bay side of the Peninsula, visit stylish Sorrento with its fine nineteenth-century buildings, excellent eateries, boutiques, and galleries. Mornington has sidewalk cafes to take a stroll along and look at its picturesque harbour. Flinders is a charming nineteenth century fishing hamlet on the other side of the Peninsula. At Cape Schanck you can enjoy outstanding views of Bass Strait. Inland are the towns of Red Hill and Main Ridge where you can explore the many vineyards and orchards. At Arthurs Seat, the Peninsula’s highest viewpoint, take in panoramic view across the bay towards Melbourne.

Mornington Peninsula spoils you for choice – with calm sandy beaches that extend from Frankston near Melbourne along the length of the peninsula. Experience wild, windswept ocean beaches, underwater environments, tranquil bushland and a vast array of native animals. The national, state and marine parks of the Mornington Peninsula are diverse and only a short drive from Melbourne.
