Surfing – Mornington Peninsula

Die-hard surfers and novices can find a wave to suit their experience in this part of the world. From the gentler Sorrento waters to the sometimes, fierce waves off Gunnamatta, the beaches attract surfers year-round.

In the summer months, especially during the Christmas holidays, large crowds of holiday-makers come to the ocean coast. Would-be surfers can attend a beachside surf school to learn the techniques for catching a wave on a surfboard.

Some of the best places to catch a wave are Point Leo, Portsea, Sorrento and Gunnamatta.
