Scenic attractions – Mornington Peninsula

London Bridge, Point Nepean National Park

Explore Mornington Peninsula's 260 kilometres of coastline and be treated to idyllic seascapes, rugged shorelines and a verdant hinterland.

Bask on beautiful beaches
Cool off in the waters at Port Phillip's golden, sandy beaches when it's hot, or take long seaside walks when it's not. Stop at scenic lookouts to spot shipwrecks in The Rip, the infamously treacherous strip of water at the entrance of Port Phillip Bay, where many ships have met their fate.

Cross to the peninsula's wild ocean side to encounter Bass Strait, where rough seas have sculpted sandy beaches and created rugged, rocky basalt headlands. Embark upon one of the walks around Cape Schanck to see the tall wind- and sea-battered cliffs.

Experience local history
Explore Point Nepean National Park for spectacular views of Port Phillip Bay and the ocean, for chance encounters with local wildlife and a crash-course in local Aboriginal, military and political history.

Behold breath-taking views
Survey Port Phillip Bay, Mornington Peninsula and the Melbourne skyline from the scenic lookouts en route to the pièce de résistance summit views at Arthurs Seat.
