If you’re looking for a holiday destination that is easy to get to and truly beautiful, look no further than Flinders, located at the southern tip of the stunningly picturesque Mornington Peninsula in Victoria. The Peninsula attracts visitors to its shores year-round, and once you have picked up your hire car from SIXT in Melbourne, it’s just over an hours drive from the hustle and bustle of the city to this tranquil beach spot.
Things to do in Flinders
Whether you head down to the beach for a day of swimming and snorkelling or decide to cruise the coastal area, it’s definitely worth a visit- and one you won’t forget in a hurry.
There’s a yacht club for those who want to get away and sail the open seas, the Flinders Jetty that stretches 250 metres from the shore, or, if you like to swing a golf club, make sure to head to the Flinders Golf Course. The Golf Course also has spectacular views of the coast- all whilst making your way around the course and finishing up with a well-earned beer.
