Flinders is located close to the southern tip of the Mornington Peninsula, fronting onto the calm waters of Western Port Bay in the west and offering a rugged coastline of cliffs and ocean beaches along its southern frontage onto Bass Strait.

Flinders is a popular holiday destination due to its scenic coastal location amongst rolling green hills and the fact that commercial development seems to have forgotten this town, instead preserving the area's natural beauty and scenic views. A number of historical buildings exist within the town, complemented by several antique shops, the Flinders Fine Art Gallery and the popular Flinders Bakehouse Cafe.

Attractions along the coast include Bass Park which provides spectacular views down to the Flinders Jetty and across Western Port Bay, as well as being home to a momument dedicated to George Bass and Matthew Flinders who were the first explorers in the area. The Flinders Golf Course is situated above the cliffs and ocean beaches to the south, overlooking the Mushroom Reef Marine Sanctuary and bordering the Mornington Peninsula National Park. To the west of Flinders, just off Boneo Road, is The Blowhole which includes walking tracks along the rocky coastline and over huge bluestone boulders.

Around 12 kilometres west of Flinders is the small community of Cape Schanck, known for its golf courses and the historic lighthouse situated at the rocky southern most tip of the peninsula.
