A long, bayside urban strip extends along the Southern Peninsula culminating in the fashionable villages of Sorrento and Portsea.
The hinterland section of this region contains equestrian stables, hot springs and several internationally regarded golf courses. Southern Peninsula also has several open ocean surf beaches. There are large number of accommodation establishments, although most reconsidered boutique in size, as well as nature and water-based activity providers. Wineries are present, but are not as prevalent as in the Hinterland or Western Port areas.
