Sunrise on Pulpit Rock at Cape Schanck which overlooks Bass Strait at the southernmost tip of the Mornington Peninsula. It is a rocky point with limestone cliffs and a historic lighthouse built in 1859 that still operates today. It's quite special in some way in that the scenic boardwalk allows you to access the rocky beaches on the Cape along with the rock platforms around Pulpit Rock at the tip of the Cape.
A bit windy but hiking and exploring the tide pools at Cape Schank and Pulpit Rock was worth it. #LoveMyTown

We had a ground room with no kitchen or balcony. It was a bit noisy with people outside an stomping on the floor above. Bed was comfortable. 👍 Ps it would have been nice to have hot chocolate as an option for a hot drink but there was only tea and instant coffee.
