DESTINATION: Rye
Travelling to the coastal resorts of Dromana, Rosebud and Rye, on the southern end of the Mornington Peninsula, is a tradition for many Melbourne families each summer. With its carnival atmosphere and safe bay swimming, it is the perfect opportunity to relax by the sea. As well as camping on the beach, a wide range of luxury accommodation, B&Bs and self-contained cottages are available. Sandbars extending up to 200 metres from the shore create an ideal safe setting for bathing. A lengthy retail strip on Point Nepean Road, including major shopping centres, provides all facilities for the now largely residential population. An increasing array of wine bars and cafes has helped foster a cosmopolitan atmosphere, especially in Rye. This area also provides the region’s greatest concentration of golf courses, with major resort-style courses only minutes away. Main Attractions
