Points of Interest
1. Pelican on the pier
If you're lucky, you might get to see a pelican on your walk out along the Sorrento long pier.
2. A rainbow
The overcast day meant a full rainbow looking north east across Port Phillip Bay. This is a nice spot to sit on the sand and take a dip in the clear water if the weather permits.
3. Ferry watching
The steps are a nice place to sit and watch the Queenscliff-Sorrento ferry. But watch out, the bottom step is slippery and you don't want to end up in the water unexpectedly!
4. Steam Tram Platform
The steps up the cliff take you to Policeman's Point and the historic tram platform. Info boards provide plenty of history while the tracks provide entertainment for the kids.
5. Sweeping views across the bay
The clifftop walk provides plenty of opportunities to look out across Port Phillip Bay.
6. Sorrento Park playground
The wooden fort playground has lots to keep the kids interested and is set in parklands which is a lovely place to explore and spot different bird life.
