Portsea is a coastal town located at the western tip on Mornington Peninsula. The town is located about six metres above sea level so many residents have great views of the surrounding ocean.

While most of the town faces north the actual area of the location stretches to the south side of the peninsula, so the coastal views really are all around. The town is known for its extravagant houses and mansion gardens. There are however fantastic places for visitors whether its fancy accommodation or something more humble.

Take a walk on cliff tops and overlook the Morninton Peninsula National Park. Look out for some of the peninsulas native flora and fauna, including the resident seals.
