A favourite place to visit for boutique clothing stores, great fish and chips and the famous vanilla slice. From here you can catch the ferry across to Queenscliff for the day.

Many wineries, restaurants, walking tracks, recreation reserves and quaint village shopping centre. The Epicurean is a great place to eat and I recommend a visit to Red Hill Cheese to taste and then purchase some lovely locally made sheep and goats cheeses.

Consejos para la ciudad
Cómo moverse
Limited taxis but plenty of Ubers
If you are wanting to head out and not drive, there are not a lot of options. There are buses that go and up and down the Peninsula from Frankston to Portsea but they do not traverse the Peninsula. Trains from Melbourne to Frankston are easy and frequent. You can wait a while for taxis in McCrae but there are usually plenty of Uber drivers around.

Red Hill Community Market
Held on the first Saturday of the month from September to April. Go early, as parking can end up quite a walk away.
An abundance of home made, home grown, home sewn and home baked goodies including local wines, gins, cheeses, chocolates, flowers, gifts, wooden furniture and so much more.
Located at the Red Hill Recreation and Showgrounds, Arthurs Seat Rd, Red Hill VIC 3937
Qué empacar
Bathers, beach towels, picnic rugs and walking shoes
There are many beaches to choose from but in the summer months the foreshore beaches can be very busy and parking difficult. Try Shoreham, Balnarring, Merricks beaches on the Westernport Bay side of the Peninsula. There are many places to take a picnic lunch as well so bring your walking shoes to burn some calories before you feast on your Peninsula-supplied gourmet feast
