Overview
Replicate your childhood summers and create lifelong memories of endless sun-kissed holidays alongthe coast of Mornington Peninsula.
Pitch a tent at a foreshore campsite, opt for budget accommodation, or splurge on something luxurious. Swim, fish, snorkel and paddle in the calm waters with their expansive sandbars.
Keeping kids entertained
Take a nostalgic trip to the summer carnivals in Rye and Rosebud. Marvel at the spectacular creations at Frankston's annual summer sand sculpture festival and get lost in the multiple mazes down the peninsula. With nature all around, there's plenty to inspire wonder. Observe water and land creatures in their natural habitats with dolphin swims, wetland visits and conservation explorations.
Get adventurous with the little ones at The Enchanted Adventure Garden. Walk through 100-year-old eucalypts on suspended rope bridges and wire balances, or fly across the park on the zip line.
Junior gourmands
Include famed gastronomic experiences in your family getaway. Hit up an array of berry farms to pick your own fruit, guaranting full tummies, and meet the goats and sample tasty cheese at Main Ridge Dairy.
Choose a winery that caters for kids. Consider Yabby Lake for its kid's menu and activity table; Montalto Vineyard and Olive Grove with its grassy areas, hidden sculptures and children's "wine"; and Stonier Wines' playground, cricket sets and boxes of toys.
Come evening, indulge with a twilight swim or a barbecue by the beach.
