The waterfront is a great place to start. Geelong's waterfront spans from Rippleside in the west to Wilson's Point in the east with a plethora of places to visit in between

This beautiful north facing bay has so much to offer and you could see it all following the famous Waterfront Geelong Bollards Trail.
