5 INCREDIBLE Things To Do In Mornington Peninsula | Local Melbourne Secrets (2020)
Explore these 5 secret offbeat places and things to do in Mornington Peninsula - a stunning piece of coast in the very south of Victoria, Australia. Discover offbeat beaches and rugged shorelines that are sure to take your breath away.
Get off the main road and see the true beauty of the Mornington Peninsula on its back beaches - we'll take you on an unforgettable adventure through Sorrento, Blairgowrie, Cape Shanck and Point Nepean National Park - coastlines, beaches, rock pools and blowholes that will steal your breath away. Quite literally.
The most beautiful Mornington Peninsula attractions are all free-of-charge and really are Mother Nature's finest works of art. We head down every summer and stumble upon a new natural marvel each time, which is why we can never get enough of its beauty. If you're not up for a 3-hour trip to see the sights down at the Great Ocean Road, I would highly recommend a day or weekend trip to this gorgeous corner of Victoria that - pretty much - is almost the same thing but on a smaller scale.
And, of course - a trip here isn't complete without a visit to the Mornington Peninsula Spa, or Hot Springs. After a long day of hiking jagged coastlines and exploring various beaches, relax and unwind in these natural mineral pools and soak up the serene atmosphere that surrounds you.
Only a short one and a half hour drive from the CBD - it's a perfect Melbourne day trip and one of the best things to do in Victoria, Australia.

MELBOURNE - CAPE SCHANCK
Presenting Cape Schanck on the Mornington Peninsula in Melbourne, Australia.
Copyright © 2011 77Aussie
ADDITIONAL INFO:
- Cape Schanck is also the name of the suburb in which the cape lies.
- Cape Schanck overlooks Bushrangers Bay (to the left) and Bass Strait.
- The Bushrangers Bay Trail is popular with walkers and is 2-3 hours return. It is just a small section of the much greater Two Bays Trail that extends from Dromana on Port Phillip, to Cape Schanck (26 km).
- Access to the Cape Schanck Boardwalk and other walks are free.
- The lightstation (including tour) is available to visitors on most days (except Christmas Day and when there are high winds) and costs $15.00 for adults, $12.00 for children, $13.00 concession and $40 dollars for a family (2011 prices).
- The lightstation has limited accommodation available. The nearby Cape Schanck Resort also offers accommodation as well as a golf course.
- The Cape Schanck Lighthouse was Victoria's second coastal lighthouse to be built. It is made from limestone and stands 21 metres tall. Its elevation is 100 metres above sea-level and the range of the light is 26 nautical miles. The lighthouse was the first lighthouse in Australia to have stone steps, which is rare for any lighthouse to have. It still functions today, though it is now fully automated.
- The large rock formation that stands at the water's edge near the tip of the cape is called Pulpit Rock.

Fort Nepean is a former defensive facility occupying part of #PointNepean, #Victoria, #Australia. It was part of a network of fortifications, commanded from #Fort #Queenscliff, protecting the narrow entrance to Port Phillip.
Located at the very end of the peninsula, #FortNepean enables you to step into the boots of the soldiers once posted there. Fort Nepean was a critical part of Victoria’s defences from the 1880s until 1945. It was the largest and most heavily armed installation in the network of #fortifications around the entrance to #PortPhillip, and today remains an outstanding example of the evolution of gun technology and Australia’s early defence strategies. The first shot of the British Empire in #WWI and the first Australian shots of #WorldWarll were fired from Fort Nepean, earning its entry in military history. These battlements were modified and used right up until the end of World War II.
OverviewSorrento
Live the good life amid Sorrento's imposing limestone buildings, whether you're dining by the water, browsing galleries and boutiques or swimming alongside dolphins.
In #vogue
Spend a laidback afternoon browsing antiques and designer labels in quaint heritage boutiques. Wander the limestone shopfronts for beach and city clothes, furniture and homewares, artworks, jewellery and maritime keepsakes.
The seaside air brings out artistic flair. See it on show at Sorrento's hive of galleries, and get colourful during the January art festival. Take a walk along the Sorrento-Portsea Artists Trail and see the views as they were captured by renowned local and international artists.
History
A walk around Sorrento's village is experiencing living history, but for a detailed look at the region's remarkable history, make your way to the Nepean Historical Museum and Pioneer Cottage, and Collins Settlement Historic Site.
Seaside escape
Splash about at the village bay beach and have a crack at leisurely sea kayaking. Surf the waves from Bass Strait at the wild, rocky back beach. Head off from the pier for seal and dolphin swimming adventures, fishing trips and bay cruises, or explore the waters below on a scuba diving expedition.

Local seascape sunset - London Bridge
After mentioning in my last vlog about my lack of landscape photography outings as of late, I thought it was about time to drag my lazy butt out for a shoot, venturing to a local location in Portsea on the Mornington Peninsula, London Bridge.
Great spot and so easily accessible, if you live in the region or are visiting, I couldn't recommend it enough! And if you're lucky, you might catch a stunning sunset there :)
Hope you enjoy guys, it's good to finally get back out shooting, and can't wait to head out on another adventure!
Cheers,
Simon

Adventure can take place anywhere at anytime when you have an adventurer spirit. I love this place (Bushrangers Bay) so much I wouldn't mind walking that 2.6km one way walk again. Melbourne is actually full of surprises and I can't wait to explore more places.
