Overview

Located 59 km south of Melbourne’s CBD on the Mornington Peninsula, McCrae is a seaside suburb of 3,311 residents (2021 census). The landmark McCrae Lighthouse, once the turning point for ships entering Port Phillip, frames a relaxed coastal lifestyle, while the National Trust‑run McCrae Homestead offers a glimpse of the area’s early European settlement. A vibrant sailing community gathers at the McCrae Yacht Club, which hosted the 2011 Victorian A‑Class Catamaran Championships.

Local convenience revolves around the newly opened McCrae Plaza, home to a Coles supermarket and a range of retail services, alongside the historic post office that began operations in 1945. Regular mail runs connect McCrae with Frankston, Portsea and surrounding towns, reinforcing its easy link to the wider Peninsula. The suburb blends heritage dwellings such as the Homestead with contemporary homes built near the shopping precinct, providing a varied housing mix for families and retirees alike.
