Coppins Lookout Mornington Peninsula Tourist Attraction

Approaching Sorrento’s breathtakingly beautiful surf beach, or (Back Beach). One of the features that strikes you upon the approach is Coppins Lookout, the beautiful lookout set high above.

The views bestowed on the way to, and, from ‘Coppin’s Lookout’ itself are spectacular !

Many years ago, this area was beautifully cultivated by actor and entrepreneur, George Coppin, to become an Ocean Amphitheatre.

The ruggedness of the coastline stretching along Bass Strait, the surf and the ocean vista.

From Cape Schanck to the south-east to Cape Otway far away to the south-west. Turn and you see Port Phillip Bay to the north with Arthur’s Seat proudly rising above the bay in the distance. As well as taking in the vegetation, the bird-life close by.

The existing lookout opened in 1970 replacing the original built by George Coppin sometime between 1870 to 1875

A way to see the Coppin Lookout is to book a tour through a tour operator, and enjoy the view.
