Rosebud is one of the larger beach side suburbs fronting Port Phillip on the Mornington Peninsula, located between Rye and Dromana, approximately 75 km South of Melbourne’s CBD. It is wedged between the lower slopes of Arthurs Seat, the shores of Port Phillip and the plains of Boneo.

Rosebud’s commercial centre stretches along one side of about a 2 kilometre length of Point Nepean Road. The shopping precinct features the large Rosebud Plaza Shopping Centre at the western end, while towards the eastern end is the smaller Rosebud Beach Shopping Centre, Rosebud Central Shopping Centre and even a local cinema.

Rosebud provides safe swimming beaches along its sandy bay coastline, with the focal point being Rosebud Pier which it located opposite Jetty Road and extends about 300 metres into the water. A striking landmark in Rosebud is the bushy mountain peak of Arthurs Seat, which provides a very nice  scenic backdrop when viewed from Rosebud’s beaches.
