As we prepare to bid farewell to a sun-filled summer on the Bellarine Peninsula, we can’t help but feel excited for the crisp charm of autumn. With cooler weather and breathtaking landscapes, autumn on the Bellarine offers the perfect opportunity for campers seeking a peaceful retreat in nature.
The first Changing Places facility on the Bellarine Peninsula has opened in Portarlington, making a day at the beach possible for everyone this summer!
The specialist toilet and changing facilities cater for people who cannot use standard accessible facilities.
There’s something magical about enjoying a cold ice cream while watching the waves roll in at the beach – but what if you could have even more delicious treats to make your summer holiday unforgettable?
As spring unfolds on the Bellarine Peninsula, the vibrant landscapes and coastal charm create the perfect backdrop for a family getaway at our holiday park in Portarlington. This spring offers plenty of adventure and excitement.

It’s hard to know where to start when it comes to food and wine on the Bellarine (not to mention beer, gin and whisky). There are so many great places to choose from, whether you’re after a casual catch up with friends or fine dining to celebrate a special occasion.
A highly sought-after vacancy is available for licensed mobile food and beverage vendors to apply for a one-year permit to operate a food truck at the Portarlington Pier Vendor Area.
We are preparing to upgrade the public amenity building at Henderson Reserve, Portarlington, to provide accessible amenities at the busiest beach on the northern Bellarine Peninsula. Construction works are due to commence in mid-October 2024.
The Portarlington foreshore café building provides expansive views across Port Phillip Bay nestled on the lower foreshore. The current 5-year lease and accompanying licence area for outdoor dining will expire on 30 November 2024 and Bellarine Bayside is seeking to continue the service offer at the site through a new lease and licence.
