The peninsula’s tip is marked by the stunning Point Nepean National Park , originally a quarantine station and army base. A large section of the park is a former range area and still out of bounds due to unexploded ordnance, but there’s plenty to see here and long stretches of traffic-free road that make for excellent cycling. There are also plenty of walking trails throughout the park and at the tip is Fort Nepean , which was important in Australian defence from the 1880s to 1945.
