Located just to the south of Melbourne, on the Mornington Peninsula, the town of Sorrento is as charming as its namesake on the Italian Riviera, and notable for its historic limestone buildings. It’s also a place of great natural beauty, with ocean and bay beaches, stands of Norfolk pines and a pretty-as-a-picture jetty.
The calm bay-facing Front Beach is good for families and you can hire paddle boards on the foreshore. At low tide, the rock pool at the back beach is a safe spot for adults and children to swim and snorkel, and the surf beach is patrolled in summer. The 10-minute climb up to Coppins Lookout offers good views over the whole area.
