3 Best Day Trips from Melbourne to Mornington Peninsula, Daylesford, and the Yarra Valley | Condé Nast Traveler
"This clifftop walk takes in some of the most stunning aspects of the western side of the Mornington Peninsula. You’ll take in some of the most amazing mansions in this part of the world—they’re what gives this walk its name—look out across Port Phillip Bay to the Bellarine Peninsula and Melbourne, and take in views that have inspired Australian artists. This 1,600-yard walk goes past four of the 14 interpretative signs, including ones depicting paintings by Arthur Boyd and Sir Arthur Streeton, on the Sorrento–Portsea Artists Trail. The return walk takes about an hour; turn around when you get to Lenthall Avenue." - Carrie Hutchinson
Woke up early to catch a glance of the breath taking Sorrento sunrise, this is what we were privileged to. A beautiful spot with no one around, maybe the cold wind has kept everyone else in bed. Witnessing the ferry crossing to Queenscliff Geelong. Not recommended as a swim beach as there is a sudden drop in the sand.

A glorious walk along the Portsea beach and some of Australia’s most amazing homes. I like to play “if I had $30M, I’d buy THAT one!

Nice short walk, amazing views of the bay, hidden beaches and illegal/ controversial marinas 🤣. We went at 6:30 am to watch the sunrise and beat the crowds. Beautiful houses, heritage and new ones. Not suitable for wheelchairs.

Nice walk through people's back yards. Beautiful view of the bay. Have to go through several gates.

Nowhere to park. Only a short walk of stairs then a small beach and private pier there’s nothing there. It’s really good if you have a house there and with the beach and pier as your backyard. A good stop on the way to national park but not worth a drive from Melbourne to see this only.

A very pleasant walk with some stunning sea views. Very limited parking spaces and definitely do this walk earlier in the morning with good weather. The walk is about 30 minutes depending on the route(s) you take, and dogs are allowed to join you on leash too. There's some stunning houses and lots to see on the trail.

What a beautiful pocket of coastline in Sorrento. The walk was MUCH shorter than I had anticipated. However, it was spectacular, and I would highly recommend anybody that is able to do so to check it out.

A lovely public walk squeezed between private beaches and private villas. On some stretches you'll be walking through front yards. And at one end, the location where a junior British officer raised the union jack to claim possession of the area for the British king.
