Mornington Peninsula Online - Business, Tourism and Events Directory

The Mornington Peninsula swings round in a 100 kilometer boot-shaped pincer which almost encloses Port Phillip Bay, and the sweep of land from the outskirts of Melbourne to the tip is thought of as virtually one long beach.Port Phillip Bay is also home to colonies of seals and pods of Bottlenosed dolphins. Mornington, Dromana, Rosebud, Rye, Sorrento and other resorts have traditionally attracted city people for decades and many return to the same resort and even the same caravan park or camping ground year after year. On a sunny summer day tens of thousands of people head for the beaches. The peninsula's coastal scenery varies enormously. Down the western shores are the Port Phillip Bay beaches, along the foot are the dunes and steep cliffs of the Cape Schanck National Park, while in Western Port Bay is a relatively unspoiled foreshore and quiet villages where the peace contrasts with the bubbling holiday atmosphere across the other side of the Peninsula.
The southern end of the Mornington Peninsula is the cradle of Eurpean settlement in Victoria, but throughout the region remnants of its rich history still exist, from pioneering homesteads to grand mansions.
