About Dromana (and nearby Rosebud and Rye) An hour
from Melbourne, the coastal resort of Dromana is renowned for their safe
bay beaches, ocean surf beaches, and great golf courses.
Travelling to Dromana, on the southern end of the Mornington Peninsula,
is a tradition for many Melbourne families each summer. With their
carnival atmosphere and safe bay swimming, they provide the perfect
opportunity to relax by the sea.
Sandbars extending up to 200 metres from the shore create ideal
conditions for safe bathing, making Dromana a great place to bring the
whole family. The beautiful bayside beache offers clear calm water
perfect for exploring. The more adventurous can hire a charter boat or a
catamaran and set out into the depths of the bay. If you need to get
your surfing fix, head straight to Gunnamatta Ocean Beach for some of
the best waves in Victoria. For a great community experience make your
way to the Rosebud Family Festival, which is held on the last weekend in
November.
Point Nepean Road has a plentiful array of shops, including a large
shopping mall, providing everything you'll need for your stay. There are
some great wine bars and cafes that reflect the growing vibrant,
cosmopolitan vibe in Dromana. This area is also close to some of the
region's best golf courses, with major resort-style courses such as
Moonah Links, home of the Australian Open tournament, on the Dunes Golf
course only minutes away.
Gardening enthusiasts will find the area has much to offer. Stroll
around the magnificent grounds of Heronswood at Dromana with its sweeping views of
Port Phillip Bay. The Heronswood Garden Festival is held in March and
November. You could also tour McCrae Homestead, one of Victoria’s oldest
country homes.
Dromana is approximately one hour from Melbourne via the Nepean Highway
and then the Mornington Peninsula Freeway.
