Fingal is truly unique on the Mornington Peninsula and consistently ranks in our top 5 favourite hikes. The breathtaking views across Bass Strait are simply stunning. As you make your way down the winding path to Fingal Beach, you'll be surrounded by beauty, but the highlight of this hike is undoubtedly the striking rock formations and peaceful rock pools. While there is a slight challenge to the hike that may get your heart rate up, the reward is well worth the effort. Don’t let that deter you—it’s an incredibly fulfilling experience.

We’re absolutely pumped for this hike because our motto is all about keeping things exciting and fitness-packed! Let’s do this!
