Flinders Blowhole
Located 4 km from town via Boneo Road and Blowhole Track, this is an accessible point along the coast between Flinders and Cape Schanck. The lookout offers impressive views of Elephant Rock, and there is a track and boardwalk down to Little Bird Rock, an excellent place for viewing birdlife and a stairway down to the blowhole, which is at the end of Elephant Rock. Blowhole Walk 1.2 km return from the car park leads over huge bluestone boulders to the ocean. The rock platforms are accessible at low tide. Garnets and sapphires have been found in the sand.

Cape Schanck Lighthouse and Museum
Located on the southern tip of the Mornington Peninsula - 20 km south-west of Flinders, at 420 Cape Schanck Road, the Cape Schanck Lighthouse was built from limestone in 1859 and named after Lieutenant John Schanck of the Royal Navy. It is 21 metres tall, 100 metres above sea level, and the light has a range of 25 nautical miles. Internally, it has a stone staircase rather than the usual wrought iron. The lighting apparatus was installed in 1915 and upgraded in 1917 and 1940. The building was renovated in the 1970s and 1980s. It is now on land administered by Parks Victoria, which offers accommodation in the lighthouse cottage and has installed a boardwalk to the rock platform. Guided tours depart and operate from 10.00 am - 4.00 pm daily. Visitors can walk up the stone staircase and enjoy the view from the balcony.

Cape Schanck and Mornington Peninsula National Park
Several excellent walks through the bush and along the coastline start at or near Cape Schanck Lighthouse.

Fingal Beach Walking Track
The Fingal Beach Walking Track from Cape Schanck 5 km leads through areas of dense tea-tree growth, past lookouts with outstanding views of the basalt cliffs, and steeply down to Fingal Beach. It is now part of the Mornington Peninsula National Park. This trip is best undertaken at low tide to explore the coastline.

Two Bays Walking Track
The Two Bays Walking Track is a 26.5 km bush corridor that connects Port Phillip Bay at Dromana and Cape Schanck. The trail starts at LaTrobe Parade in Dromana and ends at Anthonys Nose. It can be done in a day if you are fit, but most people prefer to spend two days or do it in manageable sections. The trail passes through a eucalypt forest with 200-year-old grass trees, tea-tree thickets, fern gullies, and open grasslands. Occasionally, Eastern Grey Kangaroos, Black Wallabies, Echidnas, Koalas, Blue Tongue Lizards, Snake species, Eastern and Crimson Rosellas, Kookaburras, Grey Fantails and Superb Fairy-Wrens can be spotted.

The trail starts at Cape Schanck, heads east along the coastline and passes Bushrangers Bay and the Bushrangers Bay Parking area. It then crosses Boneo Road, travels alongside Main Creek and crosses several smaller creeks. It then enters Greens Bush off Limestone Road and exits the Mornington Peninsula National Park. It enters Hyslops Road and heads towards Browns Road. A steep section heads up Gardens Road to Duels Road and then to Yambil Avenue to Goolgowie Street and Waterfall Gully Road past the Kings Fall Track and towards Seawinds Garden, where you can stroll through the gardens and admire the panoramic view of Port Phillip and Bellarine Peninsula. It then heads down the hill on the Two Bays Walking Track before connecting to the Bunurong Track, which crosses the Mornington Peninsula Freeway and heads towards Latrobe Parade at Dromana.

The Bushrangers Bay Walking Track
Located 9 km west of Flinders at 1350 Boneo Road is a car park and a walking track (6 km one way), which leads to the secluded beach at Bushrangers Bay. It is part of the Two Bays Walking Track.
The walk is described as Named after two escaped convicts; the bay comprises a sandy beach surrounded by basalt cliffs. This serene location is contrasted by the dark and brooding headlands and wild waves that often crash onto jagged rocks guarding the entrance to the bay. Walkers can continue for 2.6 km to Cape Schanck.

Greens Bush
Ten kilometres west of Flinders along Boneo Road is a signposted turnoff into Long Point Road, which leads into Greens Bush. Greens Bush is the largest section of remnant bushland on the Peninsula. It is an island of native forest and wildlife amidst a sea of farmland. There are many birds, including honeyeaters, parrots, the wedge-tailed eagle, kites and wrens, as well as kangaroos, swamp wallabies, koalas and nocturnal mammals such as ringtail possums, sugar gliders and bats.

There are two good walks in the area:
Baldry's Short Circuit Walk is 1.6 km and one hour long. It starts at Baldry Crossing and passes through the eucalypt forest.
Baldrys Long Circuit Walk, 3.6 km 90 minutes, passes through several cool, moist fern gullies and Peppermint and Manna Gum woodlands.

The Coastal Walk
There is a superb 30 km coastal walk along the southern side of Mornington Peninsula from Cape Schanck to the Point Nepean National Park. Orange markers and blue signs mark the route to indicate departure points for circuit tracks to interesting sites. The total walk takes around eight hours but there are about 30 access points to the coast, mainly from roads which run off Point Nepean Road, consequently it is possible to explore shorter sections. The journey involves dramatic cliffs, unusual rock formations, tidal rock pools, dunes, panoramic views, dense coastal scrub and rugged beaches, including Blairgowrie, Rye, St Andrews and Gunnamatta.
