Mornington Peninsula National Park

Mornington Peninsula National Park is a protected coastal park on the Mornington Peninsula in the state of Victoria, Australia. It conserves coastal cliffs, headlands, beaches and remnant native bushland.

Paths and short circuits provide access to sea cliffs, rock platforms and native vegetation for walking and wildlife viewing.
