The building in the distance is a lovely restaurant, the perfect spot for lunch after a morning spent in the surf.
ABOUT THE BACK BEACH
Sorrento Back Beach is part of the Mornington Peninsula National Park. The landscape forms a kind of amphitheater. Whether you want to fish, surf or explore sheltered rock formations, reefs and rockpools – some of which are large enough to swim in – this beach is the definition of the great outdoors.
Set out on a short walk across rocky headlands, through coastal heath, be amazed by the seemingly endless ocean vistas from Cape Schanck to Cape Otway and out across Bass Strait.
A short track leads from the surf lifesaving club to a historic lookout rotunda, providing an even better view of the encompassing blue expanse. This track is only 0.5km and only people with serious mobility issues would find it difficult. Add a 1.2km loop walk to Sphinx Rock, or venture an additional 2km east along Coppins Track to discover Jubilee Point and Diamond Bay.
During summer and the Easter period, as well as the weekends between, the Sorrento Surf Lifesaving Club patrols the beach daily. Sorrento Back Beach is a dangerous swimming beach. The rips are unpredictable, the waves large.
