Paddling near Geelong, Victoria
Geelong sits on Corio Bay in Victoria's south-west, with the Barwon River running close to the city centre and the Bellarine Peninsula coast nearby. The area draws paddlers to calm river stretches, coastal estuaries, and open bay foreshore — from flatwater floats on the Barwon to SUP sessions along the Geelong foreshore at Corio Bay. Barwon Heads, where the Barwon meets the sea, is a marquee destination for kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding.
