| PORTSEA,
just beyond Sorrento, is a mecca for divers,
with excellent dives of up to 40m off Port Phillip Heads; trips
operate from the pier throughout the summer and there are a couple of good
dive shops. Portsea Front Beach, on the bay by the pier, is wall-to-wall
beautiful people, as is Shelley Beach, which also attracts playful
dolphins. On the other shore, Portsea Ocean Beach has excellent surfing,
and a hang-gliding pad on a rock formation known as London Bridge. Back on
the bay side, the extensive lawns of Portsea Hotel, a hugely
popular drinking spot which features bands at weekends, overlook the
beach. |
