SAFETY BEACH DROMANA
PHOTO: STEVE BROWN
Life is unhurried in this part of the world, where the yachts sail into the bay to play while leatherjackets and fiddler rays gather in the shadows of Dromana Pier. Generations of Europeans congregate here and have done for years, for this is family-friendly country where anglers carry their rods and sit and wait while the sun comes up over the water. The Safety Beach, Dromana, McCrae and Martha Cove lifestyle is free and easy; just like being on holiday every day of the year with the added benefit of living where the beat hits the street. The everexpanding industrial zone, with distilleries and brew houses creating liquid gold, caters for sophisticated palates and adventurous foodies. Global eateries offer continental selections to behold, while cafes serve up the best of Mornington Peninsula coffee roasters’ offerings. Just up the road and a stone’s throw from the bay, the cellar doors are open and the wineries beckon you to pull up a seat and sample their selections of world-class vino. From down on the coast where the boating enthusiasts and paddleboarders float, to the top of Arthurs Seat with its green-covered cloak spreading towards the salty thoroughfares below, this is where the generous and innovative people grow. As one of the earliest parts of the Peninsula to be settled, this is the place where pioneer and Indigenous history can be savoured as the McCrae lighthouse guides you home to the water that holds you close. Visit and explore. The world of flavour and fun awaits.
