Sorrento

The seaside village of Sorrento is one of the most popular and pretty holiday escapes on the Mornington Peninsula. Sorrento is located at the southern extremity of the peninsula at the entrance to Port Phillip Bay and provides a beautiful and picturesque outlook. The village is known for its historic buildings, cafes, shopping and resident population of bottlenose dolphins.

Seaside escape
The gentle front beach is an ideal place to wile away some time, have a picnic, go for a stroll, take a cooling swim or keep watch for wild bottlenose dolphins which play in the clean bay waters. For some surf-pounding action, the back beach on the Bass Strait side of the peninsula is close by. Sorrento offers a long list of other recreational opportunities, including golf, bushwalking, sailing, scuba diving, fishing and boating.

Attractions 
Most of Sorrento's attractions are within walking distance and the village has earned acclaim for its historic buildings, many made from local limestone giving them a unique character. Impressive hotels, excellent eateries, sidewalk cafes, boutiques, galleries and specialist shops add extra appeal to the Sorrento experience.
