WHAT TO EXPECT

Portarlington is a picturesque town situated on the Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria, Australia, approximately 28 kilometers from Geelong. Known for its scenic beaches, rich history, and vibrant community, Portarlington offers a blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage.

The walk is easy in difficulty however the distance may be a challenge for some as it is a 15km out and back trail that runs alongside the waters of Port Phillip Bay. Also, bring bathers, snacks and plenty of water as we will stop to have a swim and relax at the halfway point (just past the indented head yacht club!) where we will swim, play some fun beach games and enjoy the beautiful scenery before we make the journey back to the start point.

Once the hike is finished we will make our way to a nearby pub in Portarlington for food!
