Little Mermaid - 6 minutes to Peninsula Hot Springs

Situated on the Mornington Peninsula about one hour south of Melbourne, this quaint community (it’s home to less than 3,000 people) offers a serene retreat among lush, natural beauty.
Tootgarook Beach is situated alongside the shimmering Port Phillip Bay. It’s an extension of the neighbouring Capel Sound Beach, and the shallow waters are safe for children and adults alike. Much of it is less than 8 kilometres deep and its greatest depth is 24 metres. Don’t forget a blanket to lay out for a relaxing afternoon of sunbathing, and pack a picnic beforehand to enjoy out on the warm sand while watching the sun set over the horizon. You can join in on one of the friendly beach games - this is a prime gathering spot for locals, who welcome visitors with open arms. Visitors can also take advantage of the seasonal boat launch ramp.
A vacation in this locale gives you a placid and pleasant experience away from the dizzying whirl of city life. But it also offers access to many exciting locations - just drive along Point Nepean Road, which follows the waterfront, to find several other charming coastal towns. Directly to the west, you’ll find Rye, a small community that’s home to the White Cliffs, Dunes Golf Links and other fun attractions. Keep going to find Blairgowrie, where you can shop at a popular commercial centre, watch the watercrafts of the Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron and explore the Mornington Peninsula National Park. East of Tootgarook are the towns of Rosebud and Capel Sound. Take a walk along the 2-kilometre shopping strip, which is lined with plenty of boutique stores and markets, small gardens and wood-carved monuments of local heroes. The strip is bookmarked by two large shopping complexes - the Rosebud Plaza and Rosebud Beach centres. While you’re visiting, don’t miss out on the stunning view of Arthur’s Seat. Finally, you are a 6 minute drive to the award winning Peninsula Hot Springs.
