Crib Point suburb profile

Crib Point is a small coastal village on the Western Port side of the Mornington Peninsula, known for its relaxed seaside character and broad foreshore reserve with a jetty and boat ramps that attract fishers and day boaters. The suburb sits beside the naval training base HMAS Cerberus and is served by the Stony Point rail line, giving a rural-coastal feel with links to larger centres. Streets mix older weatherboard cottages and seaside bungalows with more recent family homes, and the local pace suits people after a quieter, outdoors-oriented lifestyle with easy access to shoreline walks, bushland and small, community-focused shops.
