In our first instalment on '48 hours on the Mornington Peninsula’ we shared some great ideas on where to go to get that perfect plate, taste or sip across the region.   This time we are looking to give you our top picks for getting out and about.   There is so much you can do; step back in time, take the plunge, ride the sky, inspire your inner artist or take a hike.

As the weather warms up we all want to get out and about.  What better way to do this than spending some time on the Mornington Peninsula? Apart from the beautiful coastlines, delightful villages, intriguing history, and flourishing wine, food and farmgate scene, there are also loads of hidden gems to discover.

Summer means the start of cherry season and the hills of Red Hill and Main Ridge are definitely the place to be. Pick your own deliciousness or grab some already picked, but you have to be quick because they are only in season for a short time!

The Mornington Peninsula has become as famous for its culinary experiences as it has for its rugged ocean beaches and gorgeous countryside. New chefs with new ideas and cuisines have joined established local favourites to create an impressive choice for food lovers. They take great pleasure in using the wall-to-wall produce available from local farms and kitchen gardens to deliver some of Australia’s best dining experiences - from funky cafes to fine dining restaurants.

It’s not surprising that with almost ten percent of Victoria’s marine coastline, the Mornington Peninsula delivers some of the best water adventures close to Melbourne.   A weekend here can be jam-packed with marine experiences; under the water, floating on top, and playing in it.
