About Point Leo
Point Leo is a small coastal locality on the eastern shores of Western Port Bay on the Mornington Peninsula, approximately 67 kilometres south-east of Melbourne CBD within the Mornington Peninsula Shire. With a population of 178 at the 2021 Census, it is a quiet and secluded community covering just over 3 square kilometres. The area consists primarily of holiday homes and permanent residences set amongst coastal bushland, reflecting its character as a getaway destination as much as a year-round community.
Point Leo is best known for the Point Leo Foreshore Reserve, which offers some of the most reliable surf breaks on the Mornington Peninsula and is counted among the closest surf beaches to Melbourne. The small township has a relaxed, coastal vibe and is near Red Hill and Merricks, where acclaimed wineries, farm gates, and restaurants are dotted throughout the peninsula hinterland. Without rail or regular bus connections, Point Leo is a car-dependent locality, drawing surfers, families, and sea-changers who value its unspoilt foreshore and easy access to the wider peninsula.
Point Leo falls under postcode 3916 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Nepean (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
