Waterfront Geelong, Recreational waterfront district in Geelong, Australia.
Waterfront Geelong is a recreational precinct along the bay with paved pathways and dining options. It includes an enclosed swimming area, children's play facilities, and open spaces for relaxation by the water.
The waterfront began transforming in the early 1900s, with major building works between 1927 and 1939. An art deco bathing pavilion from that era still stands as a key landmark.
Colorful painted bollards line the waterfront path, showing figures and moments from the area's past. They serve as a visual story that locals and visitors notice while walking along the water.
The area is flat and easy to walk through with clear pathways marked throughout. Summer months are best for swimming and sunbathing, though the paths remain accessible year-round.
A major sailing competition has run here since 1859 and remains one of Australia's largest racing events. The Royal Geelong Yacht Club continues to host this celebrated competition each year.
