Mornington Peninsula National Park

The national park extends along coastal cliffs and encompasses wetlands, sandy beaches, and banksia woodlands stretching from Sorrento to Cape Schanck Point.

Parks Victoria established this protected area in December 1975 to preserve the natural environment and maintain ecological balance for future generations.

The lands within Mornington Peninsula National Park hold deep connections to the Boonwurrung people, who maintained traditional practices in this region.

Multiple walking trails connect various sections of the park, with designated parking areas and interpretive signs providing information about local flora and fauna.

Marine sections of the park contain seahorse colonies and fish breeding grounds, while inland areas support populations of bandicoots, wallabies, and native parrots.
