About Dromana & the Mornington Peninsula
Dromana sits on the narrow neck of the Mornington Peninsula, where Port Phillip Bay meets Western Port. The town is surrounded by coastal scrub, vineyard hills, and walking trails that range from short beachside strolls to more challenging inland climbs. It's an ideal base for exploring the peninsula's natural and culinary attractions.
