Situated between Arthurs Seat and Cape Schanck on the Mornington Peninsula, Greens Bush is the largest remnant of bushland on the Peninsula. Surrounded by farmland, the area contains a variety of vegetation communities, making it a wildlife haven and excellent place for nature walking.[6]
Horse riding is a popular activity in parts of the national park, with access from the national park entrance station near Gunnamatta and also near St Andrews Beach.[7] Dog walking is also permitted in certain parts of beachland within the park, within certain hours; with dogs required to be kept on a leash.[8]
