All about Portarlington

Occupying the northern tip of the Bellarine Peninsula, southwest of Melbourne, the historic coastal township of Portarlington is a popular summer destination, with sheltered swimming beaches and an attractive foreshore with views across Port Phillip Bay towards the You Yangs mountain range. Just behind the foreshore lies the town’s main commercial centre on Newcombe Street. A historical attraction worth checking out is the foreshore’s steam-powered Portarlington Mill, built from sandstone in 1857. Now housing artefacts relating to the history of the region, it’s typically open to visitors from September to May.

A hit with small kids, a miniature railway operates at Point Richards, northwest of the town centre, at various times throughout the year. If you arrive by car, you can also enjoy the scenic tourist drive along the Esplanade, a coastal route of around 10 kilometres that traces the foreshore between Portarlington and the neighbouring beach towns of Indented Head and St Leonards.

Stretch your legs on the Surf Coast Walk

The coastal town of Torquay, less than an hour southwest of Portarlington, is well known as the gateway to the Great Ocean Road, but it’s also the beginning of the Surf Coast Walk, a 44-kilometre mixed-use coastal trail split into 12 sections, making it perfect for a short stroll up to a multiday trek.
