Melbourne is located at the apex of one of the world's great natural seaports - Port Phillip Bay. To the east the Mornington Peninsula stretches like a rolling carpet of green, ending in the holiday communities dotted along the coastline, which have been popular for generations. Heading further east you will find Phillip Island where Australia's most popular natural tourist attraction with the nightly penguin parade takes place. It also boasts beautiful beaches and spectacular scenery or you can skip across by ferry to the relatively unexplored French Island.

To the west, Victoria's second city Geelong, is the gateway to the Bellarine Peninsula and Victoria's Surf Coast. This seaside playground at Melbourne's doorstep provides an unlimited number of adventures and leisure opportunities.
