Portarlington, Administrative division in Greater Geelong, Australia.
The coastal township of Portarlington extends across gently rising hills with vineyards and olive groves overlooking Port Phillip Bay on the Bellarine Peninsula.
European settlement in Portarlington began in 1835 when John Batman established a base camp, leading to formal township surveying in 1850 under the initial name Drayton.
The National Celtic Festival in June presents traditional music performances and dance exhibitions, while the January Mussel Festival celebrates local seafood production.
The township connects to Melbourne through regular ferry services, providing transportation for both residents and visitors exploring the Bellarine Peninsula region.
Portarlington maintains its position as a primary mussel cultivation center in Australia, with numerous aquaculture operations harvesting fresh shellfish from Port Phillip Bay.
