Kiss your worries goodbye with a vacation in Rye
Set on Mornington Peninsula, a prime destination for vacationers from miles around, the coastal town of Rye is known for its beach along Port Philip Bay, and its laid-back vibe. Once an industrial centre of lime quarries and kilns, the town's major industry these days is outdoor adventure and hot-spring pools. The coast is perfect for swimming, surfing, boating and wildlife encounters with friendly dolphins. Further inland, look for spas, horseback riding trails and wineries serving local vintages and excellent dinners. Rye vacation rentals offer the best of the beach and the countryside.
Take in the scenery by boat, bike or snorkel
Rye is an ideal place to engage in just about every outdoor activity imaginable. The main beach at Port Phillip is sandy and ideal for swimming and boating. There's a jetty at one end, plus several boat ramps, playgrounds, picnic areas and walking tracks. You can rent kayaks, bikes and snorkelling equipment, or sign up for a scuba-diving lesson, a snorkelling tour or a swim with the dolphins. Driving tours of the peninsula and seaplane tours of the coast and the Melbourne skyline are ideal for those who want to see the sights without diving in.
Take a soak or try a sip in Rye's serene setting
The top attractions in Rye revolve around rest and relaxation, which may be why Rye vacation rentals are so popular with international travellers as well as city-weary Melbourne residents to the north. The Peninsula Hot Springs are on the southern outskirts of town and offer private baths and public plunge pools, plus a picnic area and a pond. Wineries are another popular place for couples, friends and connoisseurs to try something locally sourced and rejuvenating. There are dozens in Rye or within a day's drive, and many offer fine restaurants and local produce on-site.
Temperate temps make Rye a delight all year round
Rye is blessed with a temperate oceanic climate – no surprise considering where it's located – and as a result, there's really no bad time to stop by. The summer months (December through February) are the hottest and most crowded. You'll see temps in the high 20s and enjoy ideal surfing and swimming conditions. Spring and autumn might be the ideal time to look for Rye vacation rentals, since rates are lower and temperatures are more moderate. You'll find the best deals between June and August, when the air is usually between 5 and 10°C.
Forests, reefs and beaches – all in 1 national park
You'll never feel far from the wilderness along the rocky coast of Rye, but for full-on immersion in the beauty of Australia's natural landscape, head southeast of Rye to Mornington Peninsula National Park, 2,686 hectares of diverse coastline. You'll find basalt cliffs, native bushland and an inland forest. Then there's the Cape Schanck area, with its remarkable volcanic features, and Sorrento Back Beach, perfect for surfing, swimming and exploring tide pools.
