Fortunately,&nbsp;Mornington&nbsp;Peninsula offers a wide variety of nature trails that offer easy cycling.<\/p>\n<p>Be aware that your kids are likely going to be quite tuckered out after a day of riding and will need a comfortable place to rest and recover. Our diverse range of <a href=\"http:\/\/moonahlinks.com.au\/guests\/resort\/accommodation.mhtm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mornington Peninsula accommodations<\/a> provide a restful, placid atmosphere &#8211; featuring open living plans and private terraces for laying out in the sun.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pullQuoteWrapper\" style=\"width: 25%; float: left; margin: 10px;\">\n<p class=\"pullQuote\" style=\"font-size: 1.4em!important; margin: 0!important; width: 100%!important; font-style: italic!important; \"><i>Dromana to Sorrento provides a perfect day out for the whole family.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The resort will expose you to the natural beauties of the peninsula, prompting you to explore the wider region. Listed below are three easy hikes we&#39;d recommend for you and your loved ones:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. &nbsp;Dromana to Sorrento&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you&#39;re up for four hours of sight-seeing, shopping and leisure, the coastal trail leading from Dromana to Sorrento provides a perfect day out for the whole family. McCrae Lighthouse offers a nice picnic and play area, while Coleman Park is located near Kings Waterfall and Drum Drum Creek.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once you reach Sorrento, you&#39;ll be at the arm of Mornington Peninsula, providing a beautiful view of the sea and some of the oldest houses of the region. If you&#39;re planning to begin this 17 kilometre (km) trek in the afternoon, you may catch a sunset you&#39;ll never forget.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pullQuoteWrapper\" style=\"width: 25%; float: left; margin: 10px;\">\n<p class=\"pullQuote\" style=\"font-size: 1.6em!important; margin: 0!important; width: 100%!important;  font-style: italic!important; \"><i>Red Hill is full of woodland sights and sounds. <\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>2. Red Hill Rail Trail&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This path&nbsp;is for all who like to cycle in among tall trees and dense scrub. It begins on the north end of Station Ground Recreation Reserve, and leads riders on a modest climb for about 2 km, providing cyclists&nbsp;with views of Western Port.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once you turn left at Tonkins Rd, you&#39;ll begin an easy descent into Red Hill, bringing you through a pine grove that is spotted with colourful fungi during the autumn. Once you emerge through this portion of the trial, you&#39;ll eventually be brought to Point Leo Road, where an array of shops await your patronage. A portion of the trail can be seen in this video:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xvStt0PH9Qw?rel=0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Our own accommodations&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As we offer some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moonahlinks.com.au\/guests\/resort\/resortGallery.mhtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">largest grounds in Mornington Peninsula<\/a>, there are plenty of places where you can bike around if you&#39;re looking to stay close to the resort. By complimentary rental, you can use one of the many mountain bikes we offer to our guests, or take out your own for a view of the golf course.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There&#39;s nothing wrong with staying active during a vacation, and cycling is one of the best ways to explore every metre of Mornington Peninsula&#39;s beautiful landscapes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you and
