Portsea is a breeze to get to by car from Melbourne. The quickest way (approx 1.5 hours) is to take the M11 (Mornington Peninsula Freeway). The freeway ends at a roundabout, take the 3rd exit onto Jetty Rd. Turn left at Eastbourne Rd which takes you to Point Nepean Highway and the sparkling waters of the bay. Take a left on the highway and follow the shoreline all the way to Portsea.
You can also take a scenic route out of Melbourne along the bay on State Route 33, then exit onto State Route 3 (Nepean Highway) and follow it until the Tyabb Rd exit (C782). Follow Tyabb to the end and then turn left onto Point Nepean Highway (C783).
Its easy to catch a taxi from Melbourne to Portsea but they are less available for getting around the peninsula than they are in the city.
