Overview

Somers sits on the south‑eastern tip of the Mornington Peninsula, 67 km south‑east of Melbourne’s CBD, and recorded a population of 1,857 at the 2021 census. Its coastal setting on Western Port offers a laid‑back lifestyle centred on sailing at Somers Yacht Club, walking through native bush reserves and spotting local wildlife such as koalas, possums and occasional echidnas. The town’s modest housing stock reflects its history of small‑scale subdivision since the 1920s, preserving a mix of homes nestled among remnant foreshore bushland.

Residents enjoy a primary school, kindergarten, a caravan park and the newly refurbished Somers General Store and café, which supplies most everyday groceries. Community facilities include tennis courts, a cricket ground, the Coolart Wetlands, several parks and the Lord Somers Camp, while sea‑rescue services operate from the yacht club. For broader shopping and services, the nearby towns of Bittern and Hastings are the usual destinations, providing convenient access without altering Somers’ peaceful, coastal character.
