St Leonards (Great Ocean Rd/Bellarine Peninsula)
A few miles further south from Portarlington around the bay is another low-key holiday resort, St Leonards. There's not a lot to it - a pub/hotel, a few shops (convenience store, fish & chip shop, pizza and the real estate), a caravan park and a number of holiday homes spread along the shoreline. But there's a long stretch of safe if unspectacular beach, wonderful views across the bay to the Mornington Peninsula to the east and the distant skyline of the Melbourne. Hardly a major destination but a great location for a quiet family holiday or getaway.
