The Eastern Beach complex icludes restaurants, sandy beaches, swimming pontoons and diving platforms, gardens, barbecues and picnic areas. Here you can spend a whole day just relaxing and enjoying your life. When I last time visited the Eastern Beach on 30 December 2003 it was 41 degrees Celsius! That's definitely too hot for a Finn.
From Eastern Beach, it is a pleasant walk west along the foreshore. You can`t miss the Geelong`s famous bay walk bollards, a series of 104 bollards painted by local artist Jan Mitchell to represent figures from Geelong`s history.

The perfect place for long walks along the beach.. This you can enjoy alone, or with someone. And better still, with someone special. So much to see along here, and when you have walked enough, you can stop at one of the many places for a revivor..

Relaxing on the foreshore, in a beautiful parklike setting, with lots of shade trees, is very enjoyable here.
You can go for a swim, or just enjoy a spot of peoplewatching... Nice place for a picnic too.

At Eastern Beach, Geelong, there are a range of activities to choose from. Wether it be playing cricket on the grass while cooking a barbeque or taking the family for a swim in the bay. Not to mension the wide range of near by restaurants to choose from, or a peaceful walk to the botanical gardens which is only a few hundred feet away.

Eastern Beach had the first sexually segregated baths which were built in 1844. The foreshore underwent a reconstruction from 1924 - 1940 and a shark-proof enclosure was created after a woman lost both arms in an attack. The beach was then restored again in the early 1990s and now has terraced lawns, palms and pools. Across from the beach are the Botanic Gardens.

104 Painted wooden sculptures (Bollards) made from old telegraph poles are scattered around Corio Bay.
Each Bollard has a story and is taken from a time in Geelong, Victoria or Australia's History.

Another area of the same beach, a lot more shade for those very hot days..
In fact most of the beachfront is very well shaded with lots of established shade trees.
