Description

Spend a day exploring the beautiful coastal landscapes of the Mornington Peninsula. From the wild and rugged beaches of the Southern Ocean to the calm and inviting waters of the Port Phillip Bay. You’ll be picked up at the comfortable time of 9.30am from your choice of hotel in the city centre. We will then leave the city behind to drive for about 1.5 hours to Mornington Peninsula. As we approach the Peninsula, we’ll start to see the rolling hills, farms and wineries as we make our way to our first stop which is Cape Schanck Lighthouse. We’ll go for a walk down to the rocky beach along a board walk to the rocky beach and take in the crashing waves, beautiful vistas and sounds.

We will then drive further to Portsea to check out the stunning London Bridge limestone rock formation on the beach. This is a short walk along the beach to get to London Bridge. We’ll spend some time here, taking photos, and just experiencing the wild beauty of the ocean before walking back to the car.

After London Bridge, we spot over at the quaint village of Sorrento for a bite.

After lunch, we’ll do a scenic drive through the farmlands to get to the highest peak in the Peninsula , Arthurs Seat. We’ll stop at a couple of the lookouts to get a panoramic view of the peninsula, and then make our way down to the bay side villages, until we get to the beach village of Mount Martha, where the beaches are lined with colourful bathing boxes. We‘ll go for a walk on the beach here so it’s a good opportunity to take your shows off and feel the sand on your feet.

After Mount Martha, we’ll make our way back to the city and arrive back by about 6pm.
