The Mornington Peninsula is an adventure that's just waiting to happen. All it needs is for you to decide what you'd like to do today, tomorrow - and the next day.
You could start on or in the water, fishing, sea kayaking, swimming with dolphins or sailing our coastline with its cliff-top mansions and busy seaside villages. Then hire a bike or book a trail ride on horseback and explore some of our coast or countryside. But nothing beats walking through spectacular landscapes such as Point Nepean National Park and the windswept cliffs around Cape Schanck.
To explore the Peninsula's adventurous side, you can:
Use the colour-coded cards below to plan your touring, seeing the attractions in one region of the Peninsula before moving on to the next.
Use the map at right as the basis for an extended adventure that takes in coast, country and French Island.
