The Mornington Peninsula is a
boot shaped strip of land situated between the Port Phillip Bay and Western
Port Bay. This place is famous for its sun kissed beaches and bay. People often regard it a romantic peninsula escape for its very tranquil and calm ambience,
though it is just an hour’s drive from the Melbourne city.
This peninsula over the years has
become a very popular weekend getaway, especially for couples. The Mornington Peninsula has a very pleasant
climate throughout the year and thus is always bustling with tourists, who come
here to be away from the fast city life. People can treat themselves with
spectacular view of the rocky coasts leading to small hills and sandy beaches. The beaches are ideal for water sports and so
most tourists are seen to enjoy surfing, scuba diving and sailing on the sea. A
very popular activity among couples is taking long romantic stroll along the
beaches, especially during dusk to enjoy the wonderful view of the ocean.
The couples can also take short trips Red Hill
to taste the best wines and fresh produce from the farms. Dromana and Sorrento
are the popular coastal villages which offer a calm and relaxing ambience. Other attractions in the Peninsula are the
Point Nepean National Park, Cape Schanck Lighthouse, Arthur’s Seat and many
others.
