At the center of it is the town of Sorrento, a laid-back seaside community popular for its calm crescent-shaped bay beach, as well as powerful surf along its ocean beaches, including postcard-perfect Diamond Bay.

At the very tip of the Mornington Peninsula lies Sorrento’s westerly neighbor, the town of Portsea. Since 2004, an arts-driven coastal trail has linked the two destinations. This scenic stretch of the continent has inspired some of Australia’s most famous creative talents. The track takes you to the places they would sit and paint or draw, with reproductions of their notable works displayed en route. Along the way, explore clifftop gardens and hidden beaches.
Queenscliff Ferry
Zip over to the other side of Port Phillip Bay to spend a few hours in the coastal towns along the Great Ocean Road. The Sorrento Pier is the departure point for the 45-minute ferry to Queenscliff. Once you alight, you’re at the heart of Victoria’s Bellarine Peninsula, known for its grand Victorian-era buildings and shimmering harbor.
Wine Country
More than three dozen wineries are scattered along the Mornington Peninsula, many of them a short drive from Sorrento. This cool-climate growing region is known for its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, but there are plenty of other varietals to explore. In between tastings, find farmers markets, fruit orchards, cheese mongers, and a steady stream of restaurants showing off the local bounty.
