About Mornington Peninsula

Situated 55km south of Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula is the perfect destination for a weekend away. Every kind of water activity is available, from sailing & surfing, to fishing & dolphin swims. There are also majestic coastal walks past dunes, beaches, cliffs and lighthouses. On the bay side of the peninsula, visit stylish Sorrento with its fine 19th century buildings and excellent eateries, boutiques and galleries. Stop off at Mornington and enjoy cosmopolitan sidewalk cafes & the picturesque harbour. On the other side of the peninsula visit the charming fishing hamlet of Flinders and take a trip to nearby Cape Schanck where you can enjoy superb views of Bass Strait. Alternatively head inland and explore the vineyards and orchards tucked away amongst the rolling hills of Red Hill and Main Ridge. Wineries & restaurants overlook the blue waters of Port Phillip Bay to the west and Western Port Bay to the east, and the peninsula's orchards sell fresh produce direct from the farm gate.

When to Visit Mornington Peninsula

The Mornington Peninsula has a hilly topography and by & large a cool climate. Surrounded by water on three sides, the Peninsula's summer days average around 22 deg CC, with winter temperatures dropping down to around 13 deg. During the spring and autumn months daytime temperatures average around 17 – 19 deg CC. Extreme variations are not uncommon and even on the hottest days, the weather can change rapidly. It’s recommended that warm clothing be close at hand at any time of the year.
