Area Features

Wineries

Mornington Peninsula has a well-earned reputation for its wines, and rightfully so. Dromana alone boasts more than 20 wineries and several vineyards, including Crittenden Estate, Hickenbotham of Dromana and Trofeo Estate, have cellar doors for tasting.

Dromana Foreshore

Quiet and secluded, there are plenty of spots to relax along Dromana’s foreshore thanks in large part to the reserve that adjoins the beach. The calm beaches are ideal for swimming, and the pier makes for some decent fishing. The designated camping area is popular during summer, and the walking tracks are well-trodden year-round.

Arthurs Seat State Park

Don your walking shoes and hit the trails of Arthurs Seat State Park. Not only are the views across the hinterland and bay impressive but the surrounding bushland is just begging to be explored.

Dromana Village

The village may be small, but what it lacks in size, it more than makes up for in cafés and restaurants. Dromana Drive-in cinema is always a hit with the family and the Sunday market is the biggest weekly garage sale on the Mornington Peninsula with fresh produce, clothing and second-hand goods.
