Destination guide

Surrender to the spell of seaside Sorrento

Grab your sunscreen and a good beach read – you're going to Sorrento! On Mornington Peninsula, between Port Phillip Bay and the Bass Strait, Sorrento's beaches, parks and golf courses are just a short drive from the arts, culture and commerce in cosmopolitan Melbourne. A popular summer vacation destination, Sorrento's ample coastline ranges from sandy beaches to rocky shoreline, and there are lots of Sorrento vacation rentals offering easy shoreline access. You can also find plenty of charming shops, eateries and bars along the bustling Ocean Beach Road, as well as numerous museums and galleries.

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.

From surf to turf – Sorrento by land and sea

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.
