Living in Sorrento
Sorrento is the Peninsula's postcard: limestone hotels from the 1870s, Ocean Beach Road lined with bakeries and boutiques, and the Queenscliff ferry sliding in behind the pier. It has the most walkable village centre on the southern Peninsula and the strongest year-round trade, so it feels alive even in July.
Housing is a mix of original limestone cottages, 1960s beach houses on big blocks and new architectural builds on the ridge between front and back beach. The back beach side, around Sorrento Ocean Beach and Coppins Track, carries a premium for the surf and the views. Closer to the pier you pay for walkability.
It is a genuine permanent community as well as a holiday town — schools, a supermarket, the Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club and a busy summer events calendar. Expect competition from both holiday-home buyers and retirees downsizing from Melbourne.
