The
historic seaside towns of Sorrento and Portsea are endowed with rich maritime
and early settlement history. Participants can “pass back in time”
as they paddle along the foreshore, observing historical houses along the cliff
tops, outdoor swimming enclosures, the former quarantine station and historical
ship wreck. As you move closer to Point Nepean, built up areas are left behind
and dolphins, sea eagles, cormorants etc. may be observed. There is scope to
do some snorkeling at the lunch spot so bring along some snorkeling gear.
