Frankston denotes the edge of the Melbourne metropolitan area and the entry point to the Mornington Peninsula. A fast train service means that the CBD is only an hour away, while the recreational heart of the Peninsula is just 20 minutes down the road. Frankston is one of the largest retail areas outside Melbourne CBD. It also enjoys one of suburban Melbourne's best reputations for dining. Its claim to cultural status is confirmed by the presence of the $20 million Frankston Cultural Centre and the recently renovated McClelland Gallery and its associated Sculpture Park, located in a delightful bushland setting.

Olivers Hill is the scenic high point of the city once the province of many of Melbourne's rich and famous. The imposing homes still exist and the views over northern Port Phillip are still outstanding. Frankston and its neighbouring beaches provide a wide and continuous stretch of clean sand for bathing and watersports.
