Overview

Get your heart racing with fun activities or just cool off during summer at the incredible beaches, lakes and rivers of the Geelong and Bellarine region.

Learn to surf at Ocean Grove, or paddle out to the famous break at Thirteenth Beach. Dive beneath the waves of Port Phillip Bay, discovering historic wrecks on the bay floor, or cruise across the sparkling waters of the Barwon River in a kayak, canoe or atop a stand-up paddleboard.

Prefer something a little less strenuous? Bring a picnic basket and a towel and just kick back at one of the region's many ocean and bay beaches.

Plan before you go: Be sure to check weather and terrain conditions and pack plenty of water before you embark on an outdoor adventure. Stay up-to-date with the latest warnings and advice via the Parks Victoria and Vic Emergency websites.
