Things to do
Days of future past in historic Sorrento
Once you've seen every last inch of Sorrento's epic shoreline, you'll find plenty to do on terra firma, too. You can get a closer look at local history at the Sorrento Museum, where you can peruse the archives of the Sorrento Historical Society in a striking building from the 19th century. The museum also offers guided tours of notable sights throughout the town, including the numerous historic limestone buildings along Ocean Beach Road. In Point Nepean National Park, you can explore Fort Nepean, where you'll find military history exhibits in a preserved 18th-century fort.
Activities
From surf to turf – Sorrento by land and sea
Waterfront recreation is the order of the day in seaside Sorrento. On the protected Port Phillips Bay side of the peninsula, you can find broad, sandy beaches with plenty of space for swimming and sunbathing. The area's surfers tend to flock to Sorrento Back Beach, on the other side of the peninsula. Here, you'll encounter rocky coastline along the Bass Strait between the Indian and Pacific oceans. Back on land, history buffs can get up close and personal with the region's past at the Collins Settlement Site, home to the site of the first European settlement in Victoria.
Weather
Running hot and cold in maritime Sorrento
Like much of the area, Sorrento has an oceanic climate, with warm-to-hot summers and cool winters with moderate rainfall. Average highs during the relatively dry summer months peak around 25 degrees in January and February, though highs can sometimes climb to 40 degrees and above. Autumn and spring are cool to warm. Winter temperatures range from 7 to 13 degrees in July, and most of Sorrento's rain falls between May and October. A popular summer destination, you'll generally have the best luck finding great rates for Sorrento vacation rentals during the cooler autumn and winter months.
Natural highlights
Pleased to beach you – Sorrento's wonderful waterfront
A short drive from the hustle and bustle of Melbourne, Victoria's capital city, Sorrento is a relatively laid-back town with plenty of leafy parks and residential neighborhoods. The city lies on the narrow Mornington Peninsula, separating the mild waters of Port Phillip Bay from the ocean currents of the Bass Strait. The peninsula's 2 sides are very distinct, with broad, sandy beaches lining the protected inner bay and plenty of rocky shoreline along the outer coast. Whatever your preference, you won't have any trouble finding Sorrento vacation rentals with killer views and easy access to the area's scenic waterfront.
