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.

Port Phillip Bay's wide expanse is a popular choice for boating enthusiasts who launch powerboats, yachts and other watercraft on the mostly calm waters.
Use your own boat or hire one from a local boat hire operator. You won’t require a license if you are over 16 years of age, and the boat is not capable of travelling at over 20 knots. Otherwise, book yourself on a boat charter and let someone else do the driving.
For something a little different, board a ferry to the wilderness of French Island or the more inhabited Phillip Island. Take a ferry ride from one side of the bay to the other – a ferry travels hourly between Sorrento and Queenscliff. Along the way you will see The Rip, the narrow and treacherous entrance to Port Phillip Bay, and the peninsulas that surround it. |
 
Enjoy the adventure and history of the Mornington Peninsula at military forts, historic seaside villages, lofty lighthouses, and elegant mansions.
