Hastings is amazing. It has the peace and quiet of a country town yet is so close to Melbourne and all the hotspots on the Mornington Peninsula. Hastings Marina is extensive and extremely well serviced for yachties and fisherfolk alike. We moved here to sail and absolutely love it. Western Port Bay is huge with never ending places to visit...on the water. It takes me less time to commute to work via the Peninsula Link than it did when I lived in the inner suburbs trying to travel across town.
There are so many parks and nature spots all around Hastings and the beaches of Somers, Merricks and Point Leo are just around the corner. If riding is your thing there's plenty of dedicated riding paths as well. If walking is your thing there's plenty of meandering tracks through natural bush and park land. As mentioned by others, the town has a completely serviced shopping centre, 4 medical centres and all kinds of industry. Plenty of great restaurants too.
There's been a shift here with a major redevelopment planned for the foreshore and development almost completed in the main street, not to mention the residential development going on.
It's such a friendly and welcoming town. I love it here and so does the family...
