Getting to and around Hastings
Hastings sits on the Western Port side of the Mornington Peninsula, about 70km and roughly 65 minutes from Melbourne’s CBD — a genuinely different coastline to the Port Phillip Bay beaches most Peninsula visitors think of. It’s a working port town, home to a commercial wharf, a significant naval presence at nearby HMAS Cerberus, and access to Western Port’s marine environment and the Bunurong coastline.
That industrial and maritime character shapes Hastings’ transport needs — more business and logistics trips, defence-related travel, and marine access transfers than the tourist-driven bookings common on the bay side of the Peninsula.
