Fort Nepean sits at the very tip of the Mornington Peninsula, where Port Phillip Bay meets Bass Strait, combining picturesque coastal scenery with significant military history. As you explore the historic gun emplacements, tunnels, and fortifications, there are also expansive views across the water and one of Victoria’s most rugged coastlines. Once a key defence post protecting Melbourne, the fort played an important role in both World Wars and remains one of the main attractions in Point Nepean National Park.
