Top 10 Free Things To Do and Attractions in Barwon Heads

"When you’re ready, travel down to Bellarine Peninsula, where you’ll find the Bellarine Rail Trail. This 32-km walking and cycling track is a lovely scenic adventure to embark on away from traffic, and it’s the perfect way to take in the sights of the peaceful countryside and waterside views at Swan Bay. If you happen to be visiting between June and October, try to spot the Southern Right Whales which frequent the waves as you cycle past!"

"Frontbeach is one of the best places in town to watch the world go by. You’ll feel the relaxed vibes as their friendly staff make your choice of beverage and engage you in the finer points of their gin or craft beer list. Whether you find a cosy position inside or a sunny spot on the extensive decks, we guarantee you’ll be happy settling in for a while at this venue."

Gaze out from the elegantly designed Frontbeach Taphouse and you will be greeted with the picturesque sight of Torquay’s famous Norfolk Pines. Surrounded by such a blend of modern design and nature can do nothing but relax you as you gaze onto Torquay Beach itself."

"RACV Torquay Resort's Number One restaurant is the place for a romantic meal or to entertain guests. Breakfast is also served here."

"Yes, Sorrento Back Beach is not in Melbourne’s immediate vicinity but the spectacular beauty of this place makes the trip very worthwhile. Kids will love the rock pools that will form at low tide, and there are many trails that invite you to explore the stunning rock formations. If one of you likes to surf, this is the beach where you should give it a go."

"Afterwards visit Peninsula Hot Springs to take a dip in natural thermal springs, enjoy a Turkish steam bath (hammam) or book a spa treatment. For lunch make reservations at Ten Minutes by Tractor, which celebrates seasonal local produce with dishes such as seared kangaroo fillet and tail with sweet potato, pickled northern Queensland quandongs and pepperberry jus."
