Sorrento is the largest town on the Nepean Peninsula and the center of numerous aquatic activities. The town sits on 20 m high, calcarenite bluffs, which outcrop at Policeman’s Point. The point also divides the two Sorrento beaches. The Park Beach is backed by Sorrento Park, which has picnic facilities, a boat launching ramp, and a number of private jetties and boat sheds.
The 200 m long Sorrento Jetty runs out from Policeman’s Point, with the Front Beach located on the eastern side. The beach is entirely backed by foreshore reserves with numerous facilities, including a second smaller jetty and a camping reserve toward the eastern end.
Both beaches face northeast and are sheltered from most waves, with the beach usually narrow and steep, and fronted by 100 to 150 m wide tidal flats. The water is deep inshore at high tide, while the flats are exposed at low tide.
