Fishing and Boating

If the ocean is calling your name, it’s time to head to the Bellarine Peninsula!

There is a selection of boat ramps to launch from, including one within our holiday park at Portarlington for the exclusive use of holidaymakers staying in the park. With bay access right at your doorstep why not try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), snorkel the Ozone paddle steamer wreck at Indented Head, drop in a line or two from the Pier, or just chill out and laze on the beach.

Remember, if you are between 18 to 70 years of age and plan to fish in Port Phillip Bay you will need to have a valid Victorian fishing licence. These are available online or in-person at the Portarlington Post Office in Newcombe St.

Bellarine Bayside respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Custodians – the Wadawurrung People – upon whose ancestral lands we work, live and play.

We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

We recognise their unique ability to care for Country and the intrinsic spiritual, cultural, economic, social and environmental connections they share with the land and waters. We value genuine partnerships with Wadawurrung to achieve effective management of our coastal regions.
