Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Traveled with these guys on Sunday the 5th and had a blast. The kids liked being out on the water in the sun. As for the coffee, well it's not bad.

    Nice beach on the coast side. Sheltered location from the wind and waves too. Quite a few stairs leading down from the road. Not much parking there.

    Good and easy walk. I extended it to go to Portsea. Lots to look at. Not many people. Once you find the entry points it easy. Just turn off the main road onto roads that lead to coast and explore.

    Spent a late morning relaxing at Sorrento front beach & shady park foreshore.
    Beautiful summertime. Not overly crowded. Coffee, book and kids with calm water play.
    Water scenes endlessly scenic and curious. Boats, ferry and those pesky noisy ones LOL.

    This museum is simply amazing and although only open at weekends ( more volunteers needed to extend this!) make sure you visit when next in the Sorrento village.
    Located at the end of the coastal village - next to the historic Watts cottage that recalls the life of early peninsula pioneers- it profiles so many aspects of local history that
    Are both known and unknown - from
    The piano that accompanied Dame Nellie Melba on one of her many visits to the area — the loss of Australia’s Prime Minister Holt at sea nearby and William Buckley’s connection.
    For those lucky enough to dabble in family history and a local connection there is much to be sourced - and for the rest of us - well there’s just so much to explore - and they have a wonderful selection of souvenir items to take home .

    My Airbnb host suggested I explore this area which was close to her place and as a photographer just loved the stunning rock colours, greens of the bushland and shades of blue in the sea. I spend two hours walking around but will return and to explore for a day. I can imagine it being quite wild and foreboding in the winter.

    The pier is a great place to spend some time watching the ferry come and go to Queenscliff across the bay .
    There is a good carpark where you can leave your car for free , the signs say from April to November, the rest of the year you have to pay , handy to know.
    The pier can be very busy especially when the ferry is in .
    It is only a short walk into the shopping area or to the very nice park directly above the area, well worth a visit.

    Very helpful staff. Art caters to a wide range of tastes and price ranges, with both original paintings and sculptures available.

    We visited the park a couple of times while in the area.
    Great place , very spacious and well maintained with good picnic & barbecue areas.
    Plenty of things for kids to enjoy with nice clean toilet facilities.
    There are lovely views over the bay and it is a good spot to watch the ferry coming and going.
    You can read the history of the park and how it came to be , lucky the citizens of years ago decided to keep this piece of land as a green area and not let it be developed into residential. We did some great walks from here ,
    Nice to see families enjoying the place .

    Along the Great Ocean Road trail, there are few such similarly "different" rocks formations (viewpoints/parks). Basically they all have similar landscapes/characteristics but with different rocks shapes & sizes formations. Very similar to New Zealand South Island trail. Nice atmosphere though to appreciate nature in its original forms, unspoilt by developments.
