The Peninsula by region
Five distinct regions, each with its own character. Start here to find the part of the Peninsula that fits the trip.
Flinders & the Ocean Coast
Wild surf beaches, the best pub on the Peninsula, and a rural quiet that feels hard-won.
Mornington & the Bay
The Peninsula's urban edge: the main street dining strip, the bay beaches, and the easy weekend gateway.
Red Hill & Merricks
The Peninsula's wine heartland: cool-climate pinot, long lunches, and unhurried cellar doors.
Sorrento & Portsea
Limestone cliffs, ocean baths, the Heads ferry, the Peninsula's most iconic edge.
Western Port
The quieter side: mangroves, French Island ferries, and a genuinely local pace of life.
