What Makes Sorrento Front Beach Special
The crescent-shaped bay of Sorrento Front Beach creates a naturally sheltered haven perfect for a relaxing day under the sun. If the Sorrento Back Beach is popular for its rock pools and big waves, the Front Beach is celebrated for its calm, shallow waters and overall laid-back vibe.
As one of the most family-friendly beaches on the Mornington Peninsula, Sorrento Front Beach offers a safe and welcoming environment for all ages. The gentle tides at Sorrento Front Beach are ideal for the little ones to paddle and play, while parents can relax on the nearby foreshore or prepare a delightful lunch with the BBQ facilities available. With clean facilities, shaded picnic areas, and easy access to nearby restaurants and cafés, it’s the kind of place where you can settle in for a full day of seaside enjoyment.
In addition to its close proximity to restaurants and cafés, the beach is also just a short stroll from a variety of charming Sorrento accommodations, from luxury hotels to B&Bs, making it an ideal base for a relaxing getaway on the Peninsula.
Even if swimming isn’t your thing, you can simply spread your picnic mat on the grassy lawns and watch the ferries arriving and departing the historic Sorrento Pier. On a clear day, you can see Melbourne’s city skyline in the distance across Port Phillip. For a breathtaking panoramic experience, there’s an elevated lookout you can climb to where you’ll be rewarded with sweeping views over the beach and the sparkling expanse of Port Phillip Bay. There are many spots to just unwind and soak in the peaceful coastal atmosphere that makes Sorrento Front Beach so special.
