Mount Eliza information and attractions

Introduction:

Mount Eliza is located on the coast between the large centres of Frankston and Mornington on the popular holiday destination of the Mornington Peninsula.

The coastline around Mount Eliza consists of jagged cliffs featuring scenic walking tracks above stretches of secluded sandy beaches in small bays and coves below. Access to most of the beaches along the coast is via residential streets which offer small car parks at their end points. Those residential streets feature upmarket dream homes and weekend retreats, many of which have spectacular views along the coast.

The attractive commercial centre of Mount Eliza is located around one kilometre inland, and features supermarkets and a number of speciality shops.

Other attractions include the Manyung Gallery, constructed in the shape of a Tuscan Castle and the Mount Eliza Regional Park which is built around the former Moorooduc Quarry and offers views aross the surrounding plains. The Mornington Tourist Railway, which offers steam train rides, has one of its major stations, Moorooduc, located adjacent to the Mount Eliza Regional Park. Mount Eliza also boasts two large wineries - Morning Star Estate and Mount Eliza Estate.
