How To Get To Relax, Go Fishing!
Mornington Pier, Schnapper Point Drive, Mornington.
Melways Ref: Map 104 D9
You'll find us an easy 1-hour from the Melbourne CBD, just 12 km from Frankston at the gateway to the Mornington Peninsula.
From the City, easiest way is straight down the Nepean Highway. From the eastern suburbs - the Frankston Freeway/Mooroorduc Highway is usually the quickest.
Please ensure you arrive no later than 15 - 30 minutes prior to your trip departure time.
If you are using Eastlink or Frankston Freeway to get to Mornington, please exit NO LATER than Seaford Road – particularly for afternoon and evening charters – the bottleneck at the end of the freeway can take hours to clear.
The pier has plenty of FREE all day parking, although as it is such a popular place, parking may take a little while. If you find a park at the top of the hill or along the hill as you come down to the Pier, please take it. The Mornington Pier is currently under refurbishment, and much of the carpark is unavailable for parking. Parking behind the Yacht Club is also available. Please observe all parking restrictions including the 2 hours parks and those specifically for boat trailer parking.
When you reach the Pier, our vessels are moored on the small jetty infront of the Yacht Club right in front of the disabled carparks - it's simple - just look for the Relax, Go Fishing! signs.
