Bellarine Peninsula Welcomes you!
WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER
Tucked between the vibrant city of Geelong and the sweeping coastline of southern Victoria, the Bellarine Peninsula is where relaxed seaside charm meets world-class food and wine. Wake to calm bay waters along the shores of Queenscliff, wander historic streets lined with grand 19th-century buildings, and watch the ferries glide across to Sorrento. Spend your afternoons exploring boutique cellar doors, sampling cool-climate wines, and discovering farm gates overflowing with local produce. In the vibrant coastal hub of Ocean Grove, surf beaches stretch wide and wild, while nearby Portarlington is famed for its fresh mussels and relaxed marina views. Nature lovers can cycle scenic coastal trails, spot dolphins in the bay, or simply unwind on quiet beaches where the pace slows to match the tide. Whether you’re indulging in long lunches, exploring charming seaside villages, or soaking in golden sunsets over the water, the Bellarine Peninsula offers a refreshing escape that feels both close to home and a world away.
OUR GOLF COURSE
Set along the wild southern coastline near Barwon Heads, 13th Beach Golf Links is one of Australia’s premier golfing destinations. Framed by rolling dunes, native coastal scrub and the ever-present ocean breeze, this spectacular links-style course captures the raw beauty and challenge of true seaside golf. Boasting two championship courses — the Beach Course and the Creek Course — 13th Beach Golf Links has hosted prestigious national tournaments and attracts players seeking a world-class experience. Firm fairways, strategic bunkering and fast, true greens demand creativity and precision, while sweeping coastal views provide a stunning backdrop at every turn. Beyond the fairways, the modern clubhouse offers refined dining and relaxed luxury, making it as much a destination for indulgence as for competition. Whether you're chasing a personal best or simply soaking up the salt-tinged air, 13th Beach delivers an unforgettable blend of championship golf and coastal escape.
