About
Sorrento
Sorrento is the Peninsula's grandest seaside town: limestone buildings and a lively main street, a calm bay beach out front and a wild surf coast out the back.
Come for the dining and the shopping, stay for the heritage hotels, the clifftop walks and the ferry across to Queenscliff.
Featured Spot
The Main Street
Ocean Beach Road runs from the bay to the surf, lined with historic limestone buildings holding cafes, bakeries, galleries, boutiques and some of the Peninsula's finest dining. It's made for wandering: coffee in the morning, gelato after the beach, a long dinner on the hill at night.
Beaches
Sorrento has a beach for every mood. The front beach on the bay is calm and made for swimming, while the back beaches face Bass Strait: Ocean Beach is patrolled in season, and Diamond Bay and Koonya are wilder, with limestone bluffs and rock pools. The back beaches are for walking and watching the surf more than swimming, so check conditions and stay between the flags.
