About Crib Point
Crib Point is a small coastal suburb on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, approximately 72 kilometres south-east of Melbourne CBD. With a population of 3,343 (2021 Census), it sits on the shores of Western Port Bay within the Mornington Peninsula Shire. The suburb has a mix of established families and retirees, with a relaxed semi-rural character shaped by its proximity to both the bay and surrounding bushland.
The suburb is the second-last stop on the Stony Point railway line, giving it a direct rail connection to Frankston and onwards to Melbourne. Crib Point offers affordable housing by Mornington Peninsula standards, with local shops, a primary school, and the nearby Stony Point ferry to French Island and Phillip Island adding to its appeal. The Western Port coastline provides fishing, walking trails, and birdwatching. It attracts families, retirees, and those seeking a quieter bayside lifestyle with the bonus of train access.
Crib Point falls under postcode 3919 and is governed by Mornington Peninsula Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Hastings (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
