As the highest viewpoint on the Mornington Peninsula, the summit lookout provides magnificent views of Port Phillip Bay. On a clear day, views stretch as far as the city skyline, the You Yangs and Mount Macedon.
Access to the summit lookout is via car or gondola from the tourist road. For a bird's-eye view over Port Phillip Bay climb aboard the all-weather Eagle, a state-of-the-art gondola which soars high above the trees. The Eagle caters to people of all abilities, the eldery and children. It is wheelchair and pram friendly.

Upcoming Works - Two Bays Walking Trail Closure

The Two Bays Walking Trail will be closed from Latrobe Parade Carpark (Bunurong Track) through to Seawinds Gardens, from May 2025 to September 2025 while we undertake trail repair and upgrade works. This heavily eroded section requires trail resurfacing, construction of stone tread steps and drainage rectification works.


Visitors will not be able to complete the walk from Dromana Foreshore, instead will have to start/finish their journey from Seawinds Gardens through to Cape Schanck.

Charlottes Pass MTB trail will also be closed while works are underway.
