McCrae beach is one of the most beautiful on the Mornington Peninsula. Known for its long white sand strip, beach boxes and shallow waters, perfect for families with young ones.

You’re in the heart of the Mornington Peninsula wine region, with some of the most popular wineries in the area being just minutes away. If you’re looking for something a little stronger, try the local distilleries like Jetty Road Brewery, JimmyRums or Bass & Flinders which can all be found in Dromana.
