Geelong

The city of Geelong is Victoria’s second largest, but you won’t catch this bayside beauty in Melbourne’s shadow.

Gatekeeper to Victoria’s inimitable Great Ocean Road, Geelong takes its beaches very seriously. Whether you’re ordering seafood dishes on Cunningham Pier, taking a walk along the foreshore or stretching out on the sand, Corio Bay will have you wanting to dive in headfirst. Visit museums, botanical gardens and historic landmarks to learn the story of Victoria’s coastal capital.
