Portsea sits astride the sheltered bay and surging ocean swell, perched on the tapered tip of the Mornington Peninsula.

The views from Portsea are unlike anywhere else in Victoria a street full of millionaires can’t be wrong. Glimpse glamorous mansions along the waterfront or find your own patch of real estate at the grand old Portsea Pub. Experience the lavish lifestyle with boutique accommodation and upscale dining. First-time scuba divers take note: Portsea’s gentle waters and pretty pier make it a great spot for beginners.
