Destination Overview

Although only an hours drive away from Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula seems like it is a world away.   

Visitors will be forgiven for thinking they have left Australia when they arrive in Mornington as the vineyards, olive groves and weather are reminiscent of what travellers would expect in the Mediterranean. This cosmopolitan seaside village with its sidewalk cafes, colourful bathing boxes and renowned gallery is a must visit destination for those on holiday in Melbourne. There is plenty to explore on the Mornington Peninsula for those on holiday in Australia. Visitors can travel the length of the coastline, stopping at various seaside villages, or just meander back and forth from one coast to the other on country roads with glorious views.

  There are many beaches in Mornington, some of which are spectacularly located at the base of rocky cliffs which dominate part of the coastline. The sheltered Mothers Beach and Scout Beach are located along the eastern side of Schnapper Point while Shire Hall Beach and Mills Beach are located further east along the coast. Approximately a kilometre south of Schnapper Point is Fishermans Beach which ends at the scenic rocky outcrop of Linley Point where there are boat ramps and scenic viewing spots along the coast.

  You don't have to travel far from Melbourne to staisfy your appetite for unforgettable meals created by star chefs using local farm-fresh produce accompanied by signature wines. Feast on super-fresh seafood in Mediterranean style at eateries overlooking the water. You can head inland to restaurants like Max's at Red Hill Estate for unforgettable views of the rolling hills to the bay. Relax among the vines for home grown wines matched with mouth-watering chef creations made from local harvests. The tiny pocket of Main Ridge and Red Hill boasts as many as five restaurants that have been endowed with hats in the esteemed The Age Good Food Guide 2012.  

  Mornington's attractive commercial centre centres around Main Street, which is lined by almost a kilometre of restaurants and cafes many of which offer outdoor dining. Take a stroll around Main Street to discover speciality shops and the history of the former Schnapper Point fishing village. Browse in boutiques and stop at the old bank to withdraw beer, wine and cocktails. See Victoria's oldest courthouse and adjoining lock-up, and embark on a steam train ride on the Mornington Railway. Wander the coastline of red bluffs for panoramic views of yachts bobbing in the Port Phillip Bay harbour and the iconic bathing boxes. Nearby Morning Star Estate also offers soaring views of the Melbourne skyline, with the added bonus of luxurious accommodation, food and wine.
