The Lady's Finger in Mornington Beach is a historic landmark that has intrigued visitors for centuries. This distinctive stone tower, is believed to have been built in the 16th century as a navigational aid for ships entering the mouth of the River Boyne.

The tower's unique shape and location on the coast have given rise to a romantic local legend. According to the story, the tower was built by a young woman waiting for her lover to return from the sea. She would watch for his ship from the tower, earning it the name "The Lady's Finger".

Today, the Lady's Finger continues to be an important part of Mornington's coastal heritage. It is a protected structure and listed in the Record of Protected Structures, ensuring its preservation for future generations.
