The Sorrento - Portsea Artists’ Trail is a coastal walk that links the two main settlements in town. The trail is often said to be an inspiration for many notable Australian artists for the past 150 years. It is said that the trail itself inspired the likes of Sir Arthur Streeton, John Perceval, Albert Tucker and Sidney Nolan. Pass by private coastal gardens, isolated beaches and, down where the trail splits in two, the Portsea and Sorrento lanes. If you want a little more adventure, hike on different trails on the Beach Coastal Walk, such as Millionaire's Walk and Diamond Bay.
Arguably one of the best beaches in the area, Sorrento's beach is clean and the waves are great for surfing. Meet the local surfing crowd who hang out near the pier. There are several water sports gear rentals available. If you are not keen on surfing, opt for the Sorrento pier and foreshore. Enjoy long strolls on this side of the beach as you revel in the sights and sounds of this charming town.
