5 INCREDIBLE Things To Do In Mornington Peninsula | Local Melbourne Secrets

- čas přidán 7. 08. 2024
- 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.

#MorningtonPeninsula #Victoria #Australia
Great video guys….been on vacation to Melbourne twice before you know what stopped us all…..our next trip is likely next year, still to do the Mornington and Bellarine peninsulas….so much to do and see around Melbourne and in Victoria….love the multi cultural feel of the whole place…..thanks for sharing, as I sit and shiver from my little island of Jersey….just off the NW coast of France…
Lived in Melbourne most of my life , beached around Mornington pen. hundreds of times ..... never new about diamond bay or Bridgewater . Love my snorkeling, can’t wait to check them out! Thanks 👍🏼
Same here! We'd been to Mornington Pen umpteen times but only recently discovered Bridgewater Bay and Diamond Bay. Hope you had an amazing time!
Nice useful information but too loud music in background which steals the tranquility of the places shown in the video.
Not really. You want to feel tranquillity. Go visit the place.
great footage and tips 😍
Hello my dear friend,that's very nice amazing sharing good video thanks
This place is absolutely stunning
The water looks stunning!!
Thanks for watching!
So beautiful.
Another amazing Video... lover your Videos.
Thanks for your constant support, Heather! We appreciate it so much!
Thanks I really like it
Looks like you had a great day (or two!) Drone shots and editing is magnificent. Got to take our boys to that fort!
just as people are starting to head out again on holidays, i have to say the Dromana Drive in is an absolute MUST! an experience you simply can't get anywhere else, with a full 50's themed diner, it's been owned and run by the same family since opening in 1962.. maybe it's just me being a big buff of both movies and historically significant places, but it's just the night out, still remember going to see honey i shrunk the kids there for my very first time, i've been sucked in ever since!
wow really amazing video. you got some great shots. I really enjoy watching. Thumbs up.!!!
Many thanks! 😊👍
Loved your footage & great tips. Also loved the music to go with it. Will check out more of your videos
Thanks for watching Jill and the kind words! =)
I really enjoy the music and editing the bridgewater bay & the pillars looked amazing what a place !
Thanks for watching and feedback. Makes our day!
@@HangryByNature youre welcome :)
Gorgeous - it almost felt like you are the only one there, really stunning the whole place when you see it up high from the drone, how crystal clear is those water omg at 5:39
Thanks man! Next time you come down to Melbs you gotta get out of the city.. we'll take you to some of these amazing places! Ditch the city coffee, brunch and Ox tongue rice next time haha
nice work
Thank you for those amazing tips! Been to MEL before, but didn't Mornington Peninsula. Def going to visit next time!
Thanks for watching and wonderful feedback! Did you get a chance to visit the Great Ocean Road when you were in Melbs last visit?
@@HangryByNature No, but it is def on my next visit list as well for sure
Nicely done, your drone shots are awesome! Great list of places too, so much stunning nature... It all looks pretty quiet too. Can't believe it's only an hour from Melbourne, I feel like I've missed out haha. Its perfect for a road trip. I LOVE hot springs as well! I'm definitely a beach person, but I do like both :)
Thanks so much, we went during the weekday in the morning most of the time so that's usually really quiet time. hahah shame you missed out but you can always make it next time you visit. Where are you based?
Your drone footage is AMAZING! ✨ I need to go to Diamond Bay, it looks beautiful. 🙌🏻 We're so lucky to have so many picture-perfect destinations so close to Melbourne. With summer approaching, it's the perfect time to go on more road trips! ✔️☀️
Thanks Chelsea! We are lucky and this was the east side. West side has the Great Ocean Road! lol spoilt for choice!
@@HangryByNature Hi, video looked great but couldn't finish it with the music blasting my ears off after a bit of commentary. And to be a complete dick..it's on The Mornington Peninsula, not in.
Hi from Thailand. Like your content! I have been in Melbourne 5 times. Love to go placeless that Aussie go. Subscribed!
Thanks for posting ... great family friendly ideas for when we make it out to Oz. ps Europe sucks compared to Australia
Wow guys you got some really nice drone footage in this one. The top down shots were mint. Really enjoyed the editing from Andy too especially with those light fades paired with the music selection, cery cool. Thanks for the tips I'll be sure to check out at least one of these places when we visit Melbourne, if we need a break from the food :D
Thanks! Ended up coming out late cos of so much work put into it lol. There is never a break from food 😂 Some really nice wineries / food out that way too i think you guys would enjoy!
Here in 2020 planning our next trip for after Stage 4 lockdown!!! Loved this video!
Thanks for watching! Can't wait for lockdown to ease off. Really miss visiting Mornington area especially since the weather is warming up! Stay safe =)
This is absolutely. ..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................oh hi I didn’t have to say anything. :)
All unknown places to me, but they look worth visiting. Especially like the hot springs, I would def go there if I had the chance. Thanks for the isider tips on holidays and what to expect, that's really helpful.
Beach bum here! But a pool is nice too! :D
hehe yeah it's like Melbourne's hidden gem to many not local here. Thanks for watching!
Omg Beautiful Places. I should go there. I love your video. Did your shoot it with Drone?
We've never heard of a single one of these places 😳But man how awesome do they look! Will have to be sure to save this vid for next time we're in Melbourne 😎Tash is a beach bum for sure, but these days I think I'm more of a pool type of guy 🤔
If you guys have plans to come to Melbs, let us know! We'll take you to see some of these stunners!
Hey that awesome guys 😎We'll definitely be hitting you up if we get to Melbourne, cos we'd love to meet you guys in person!
We'll be on flight landing in Sydney end of March with no concrete onward destination and one of my oldmen lives Echuca, it's not a sure thing yet, but we are well overdue on visiting him, so if nothing comes up we might make the drive down to see him and if we do...then game on!! 😁We will keep you posted 😉
Missing these places so much. Melbourne lockdown at the moment and we are only allowed to move in our 5km range. Thank you for a fantastic video.
Same with us. We live in Melbourne too. Hopefully we can start to ease restrictions since our numbers are getting better. Mornington will one of the first places we will visit since the nice weather is picking up too 😂 thanks for watching!
@@HangryByNature Oh you also live in Melbourne in lockdown. Yes, the figures suggest that the restrictions ease soon and we can enjoy the beautiful nature again on the Mornington Peninsula or other places in Victoria -:) We live in Mount Eliza but are only allowed to get to the border of Mornington at the moment and not further. I cannot wait to visit all the beautiful places again that you showed in your video. Loved that you gave all the good advice for families with little kids or generally for people all ages. -:)
Wonderful keep up good work.....what's the car model ?
Thanks so much! It is Mini Cooper Countryman. Great car!
I didn’t realise there was so much to see on the Mornington Peninsula. Some stunning coastlines! How good was that drone shot at 4:40 with the birds flying in front 😲
We were almost going to visit on our trip to Melbourne last year but we ended up going to Philip Island.
Before we had kids. Beach bums. Now we have kids. Pools.
Mornington's our fave summer hangout spot.. we find something new each time we go. But Phillip Island is beautiful as well! Haha yeah the timing for it was perfect but I always get paranoid flying around birds cos we've had so many try and attack our drone. Do you guys get that too?
Only once when I flew it at St Kilda beach.
@@TheWorldnUs Next time you guys have plans to come down to Melbourne we'll take you down!
Sounds good 👍
Should have checked out rock pools in Blairgowrie. Great place to jump into the pools.
I live in Rye I am so lucky the best place ever
so jelly! we love Rye!
Great video! Just be careful when flying your drone that your not in a no fly zone. I always want to get my drone out when im down the Mornington peninsula but being parks vic land for most of the good spots makes it not allowed :(.
But your footage is fantastic! So thank you for sharing these amazing spots!
Thanks Emily!
Feel very lucky to live here
Bass Strait
Loved your video just a shame the music was so loud we couldn’t hear what you were saying, beautiful scenery though!
Thanks Cheryl, yeah we messed up the sound up on that one! lol thanks for the feedback
Nice video. Next video soft serene music in background plz
Thank you Raju!!
if your going to Gunmatta you have to stop at Dundas street milk bar best Snitzel rolls and chips and Poato cakes , Koonya general store on Melbourne road is a great burger shop cheaper than food at portsea -My Guide Tourism
Thanks so much for the suggestions 😁 Noted for the next time we visit!
Been there done that
Awsome drone footage. I want to do the same. Is a permit needed?
footage is great but that music is way too loud, i can barely make out what you're saying
I was wondering when you are hiking do you ever get to bump into a snake or other wild animals? Really wanna visit Australia but scared of wild creatures lol. Thank you x
Hmm hardly.. but then again, I don't take much notice. We see kangaroos pretty often tho!
Beautiful video but music is too loud... couldn't finish because of this
Thanks for feedback =)
We're totally beach bums. Don't mind the sand at all. Pools are ok, but we could sit on the beach and listen to the waves (or surf them) all day long.
If you havent listed the cave under the Cape Shank Light house the Fingal Bunker then its not really off the beat - My Guide MP Look up cape shank bunker on youtube
I live on the Mornington peninsula at Rye
Lucky u! I wish we could move around atm, would love to head to Mornington for mini break. Stay safe, stay strong and take care! =)
Great clip, however everywhere you flew your drone where all no fly zones !
Thanks for feedback and flagging that with us!
Is it ok to go during spring ?
It is a nice time to go in spring as the weather is moderate and can get a lot more sunnier days but you probably can't go for a swim as the water would be too cold.
Hangry By Nature thank you!
Just a heads up for people thinking of taking their drones to those places, they are all parks Vic and permission is required to fly.
Thanks for sharing
I live in rye
The Mornington peninsula is really beautiful which is more than I can say for the annoyingly loud music you've put to this video
Hi
Bridgewater bay? we call it
st Johnswood rock.
Thanks Tina, what an awesome video. oceanbluecoastalretreats.com.au/ would be happy to host you again anytime and thanks for showcasing our beautiful region and Buckleys Escape.
turn down the music
hehe thanks for the feedback, lots of people have mentioned for this vid. Rookie mistake. 👍
Btw they aren’t secret
Please don't bring kids to the peninsula hot springs. Don't ruin it for everyone else. Its not an aquatic center its meant to be a relaxation retreat. Kids don't want to relax so don't ruin the experience for everyone else and yourself. Leave your kids at home
your wrong
shhh don't tell people about diamond bay
