Sorrento beach has always been my go-to spot. I usually stick to the rocky side, but this time I ventured over to the sandy area during sunset and it was absolutely stunning. The kids had a blast playing in the sand. There's a lovely cafe right at the entrance that's worth checking out. There's also a viewpoint at the top, although I didn't make it up there this time. The beach is clean and offers amazing views, with clear blue water.

The beach has lovely scenery and the hike to the hill is not too far, only about a 15-minute walk. Just a reminder, there are no trash bins around so please keep the area clean as I noticed some litter scattered about.

The beach offers stunning views and soft sand. Children had a great time exploring the rock pools when the tide was low, spotting starfish and collecting pretty shells. There is also a friendly cafe on site.

This beach is absolutely beautiful! The waves can be a bit rough at times, but the water feels cold and refreshing. It's also patrolled by surfers. There are plenty of parking spots and convenient toilet and shower facilities near the lifeguard building. If you follow a walking track, you'll find a lookout point just 150m from the car park.
