Hastings

Why visit

Visit Hastings if the Mornington Peninsula route already has you nearby and the maritime-history angle matters. The submarine site gives the town a specific hook, with waterfront and peninsula travel around it. It is strongest as a small stop between beaches, wineries, ferry links, or other peninsula plans, not as the main reason to leave Melbourne.

When to avoid

Do not build a whole Melbourne-area trip around Hastings alone. Treat it as a targeted stop with a narrow reason. Because the main anchor is historical and site-specific, confirm current access and viewing conditions before making the detour.
