About the Mornington Peninsula Region
The Mornington Peninsula is located south-east of Melbourne, surrounded by Port Phillip, Western Port Bay and Bass Strait. Known simply as The Peninsula to locals and Melburnians, it has a long history of being a favourite holiday destination for the people of Melbourne.
The Melbourne suburb of Frankston is sometimes known as the Gateway to the Peninsula, being where the peninsula joins the mainland on its northern boundary. The peninsula tapers away and terminates at Point Nepean.
On the Northern/Western side of the peninsula, facing Port Phillip Bay, several popular holiday spots are to be found. These include Dromana, Rosebud, McCrae, Sorrento and the more exclusive Portsea. On the south-eastern side of the peninsula, facing Western Port Bay and Bass Strait, good surf beaches are to be found, such as that at Point Leo. Also on the Western Port Bay side of the peninsula is the naval base HMAS Cerberus.
A little to the north of Hastings, at Pearcedale is the Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park, which offers nightly walks showcasing many of the nocturnal animals native to the region.
At Shoreham is a popular maze attraction featuring hedge and rose mazes.
Popular day trips from Melbourne include Red Hill and its popular monthly market, and the town of Mornington.
At Dromana lies one of the few remaining Drive-in Theatres left in the State. Its three screens remain popular with the people from the Peninsula and the southern suburbs of Melbourne.
At the top Arthur's Seat is a lookout where a magnificent view of Port Phillip Bay can be found, as well as a chairlift ride to the bottom.
The region draws many visitors to its outstanding golf courses.
The Peninsula is also known as a temperate water scuba diving destination. The shore dives at Mornington Pier, Rye Pier, Blairgowrie Pier, Portsea Pier and Flinders Pier give an outstanding variety of experiences on day and night dives.
