Best places: Scenic spots in City of Manningham

👍👍 Beautiful views!!! The roads are windy so please be careful parking at the lock out. We got a bit excited with we saw the Magpie staring at us on the same day that Collingwood was playing. I hope it’s a good omen 🤣

Towering limestone stack rising from the sea, visible from a lookout spot reached via a short path.

Popular sunset vista point offering panoramas of the Melbourne area & nearby walking tracks.

👍👍 One of the best drives in the world, best times to drive it are between 10am and 3 pm as there is less traffic. Plenty of places to pull over and let others past, watch out for Wallabies grazing on the side of the road and lyrebirds are often spotted. Stop at Rowans Well to fill up your drink bottle...

Compact sandy beach nestled below a rocky bluff & offering a surfing break.

👍👍 The lookout point is still here, although not marked. The concrete floored shelter that allowed easy shaded access for disabled, wheelchairs etc, has been removed for some reason.....but the fantastic views are of course still their. Great spot for a picnic, walk or to enjoy the views of the RJ Hame...

👍 Nice place with family picnic. Night view is awesome. You will get good view of lights. Kids out there with bikes are risky and annoying. Be careful.

👍 Nice lookout, beach is very nice, you can do a long walk beside the water among the rocks

👍👍 Clean and shallow enough for safe family water play. Though carried home some ocean water bugs 🐛 found in swimming costumes but all is ok.

👍👍 Dog park 🦮hiking & picnic area.This is worth a stop if you are cruising the Dandenong ranges you can walk around the grass areas and down the walking track across the reserve, this track is a pretty elevated walk and only good if you are very fit beautiful country.This place has amazing stunning vi...

👍👍 A great spot from which to watch the sunset out over the bay. There is parking for about 9 cars here and a seat for about 5 people to sit on. It’s only a 30 second drive down to Mills Beach carpark where you can go for a nice stroll along the beach and view the Beach huts.

Picturesque lookout point & photo spot boasting views over a valley & reservoir.

👍 Bay lookout below Arthurs Seat and there is a track from the point to the top although most pull over for the views. You get excellent views north and south along the easterly coast of Port Phillip Bay

👍👍 Stunning scenic views from the lookout with an expansive field of view across the surrounding land. The walk was fairly short (15-20 minutes) and you could take your dog with you which was great! It's a relatively flat walk for the most part, although towards the lookout it starts to get a bit rocky...

Charming eatery with an old-world vibe & river views offering breakfast, lunch & afternoon tea.

👍 A quite place especially if you go there during a non holiday period. There are lots of open areas, benches and a few bbqs for a family gathers. Toilet facility is acceptable. I would certainly recommend for a visit.

👍👍 Awesome spot for photography at dawn and sunset. Good swimming spot too. Great little beach. You need to take care as the plateau that Dragon's Head is on is completely inundated at high tide and often has waves wash over it even at low tide. In winter you'll get decent shots here all day. In summer...

👍👍 Sugarloaf Reservoir is one of the larger, newer water reservoirs supplying Melbourne with drinking water. Opened in 1981 it's been landscaped and has several spots where you can stop for views and picnics or BBQs, although solid fuel BBQs are prohibited. Toilets and picnic tables and benches are ava...

👍 Really nice spot to do some sunset/landscape photography. The long stretches of shore works well to get those streaky long exposure wave flows.

👍👍 Great beach walks and teatree reserve walks, cycling tracks, kids safe shallow, beach boxes
