If you love the beach, a visit to the ocean is the next step.
The Mornington Peninsula's back beaches (or ocean beaches) offer stunning water vistas that will keep keen photographers, surfers and water lovers coming back.
On a rough and choppy day, the waves put on a spectacular show - great to watch, but swimming is not advised.
A drive along the coast stopping at each ocean beach makes a perfect weekend escape from the city, or a great nature-inspired day trip for the family.
