A city between
Located between Melbourne CBD and the Mornington Peninsula, Bonbeach offers a laid-back city to enjoy during your holiday. It might be overshadowed by its famous neighbour, Brighton Beach, but Bonbeach has one of the most beautiful white sand beaches in Melbourne, with fewer tourists. You’ll feel like you have the beach to yourself.
