When to visit

The best time to visit Mornington Peninsula is during the summer months from December to February when the weather is warm and perfect for beach activities. However, spring and autumn also offer pleasant weather for exploring the vineyards and gardens. Winter can be chilly but is a great time to enjoy the region's hot springs.

Getting around

Mornington Peninsula is best explored by car as public transportation options are limited. Renting a car or joining a guided tour are the most convenient ways to get around the region. Cycling is also a popular way to explore the coastal trails and vineyards.

Traveller tips

Make sure to pack sunscreen and a hat as the Australian sun can be strong, especially during the summer months. Don't forget to try the local wines and fresh seafood while visiting the region. Be prepared for changing weather conditions, especially if you plan to visit the hot springs or go hiking. Book accommodation in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons. Keep an eye out for wildlife such as kangaroos and koalas while exploring the natural reserves.
