London Bridge

Reviewed By DShalders - Glen Waverley, Australia

Located at Portsea back beach you can either walk from the last back beach car park, only a short stroll or drive up London Bridge Road to the sites actual car park. The huge rock pool and sheltered beach was great for our kids 8, 12, 14 but would suit younger as well. And of course the surfing and body boarding waves are only 50m down the beach. Great little spot.

Fort Nepean

Reviewed By gwendolphyn - Singapore, Singapore

Lovely views of this site of military history that overlooks the beautiful ocean. There is also a free shuttle bus that could take you all the way to Fort Nepean, at an additional cost (vehicles aren't allowed along the road to the Fort aside from the shuttle bus).

Sorrento Portsea Artists Trail

Reviewed By Swelltraveller67 - Melbourne, Australia

I have been trialling walks around the Mornington Peninsula the last few days and have happened upon quite a few plaques with photographic links to art work from our history. All up there are 14 to view on both sides of the peninsula. Each plaque has some information about the artwork and is worth reading. It is in English. I haven't seen them all yet, but they are worth trying to find. You can download a map at the Mornington Peninsula website. The paintings are mostly by Portsea and Sorrento artists. Below are 2 that I have found, but I have more. I haven't put them all here as it would spoil your fun. Great challenge for your kids to find them all when visiting the area.

Portsea Pier

Reviewed By DShalders - Glen Waverley, Australia

Staying down at Portsea for the week and took the young teenagers down the pier numerous times for a fish. Plenty of squid being caught and we caught a few Banjo Sharks. Beautiful spot with cafe Le Cuchin right there for a coffee.
