If you’re driving 90 minutes south-east of Melbourne for the southern tip of the Mornington Peninsula, Cape Schanck delivers the 1859 lighthouse, the Bushrangers Bay walk, the boardwalk to the pillar of basalt, and lunch at one of the Peninsula wineries on the way back. Cape Schanck sits at the southern tip of the Mornington Peninsula, 100km south-east of the CBD via the Mornington Peninsula Freeway. The Cape Schanck Lighthouse was built in 1859 and is one of Victoria’s two operating heritage lighthouses (the other is Aireys Inlet on the Great Ocean Road).
