EASTERN BEACH RESERVE – (95 Eastern Beach Road, Geelong – Australia)

A nice family-friendly place to enjoy. This is a well-thought out place, with a pool for the youngsters and a shark-proof beach for teenagers and adults to enjoy. Walking upon the boardwalk heading into ‘the beach section’ you will notice metal plaques on each piece of slats with a name on it, the individuals kindly paid and donated that particular slats for the boardwalk. 

In the beach section, apart from swimming, you can have lots of fun where there are floating islands where you could play by sliding off a rotating barrel and into the water or simply climb up a large diving tower for that big splash you were hanging out for plus more. 

You can see many lifeguards patrolling the area that puts your mind at ease as well. If you want something to eat or have a cool drink or treat, there are kiosks there to cater for your needs. They also have a picnic area with facilities or playgrounds if you don't want to get wet – lots to do there. 

But what this beach is famously known for is their Baywalk Bollards, scattered all over the place. Each set of bollards represent a story of the city’s past, the bollards are from old timbers and piles from a city pier and transformed into beautiful work of art by an Australian artist Jan Mitchell. If you want to know the story that goes with the bollards, there is a book available for purchase from the Carousel at the Waterfront. And yes… I couldn’t help myself, I had to take a photo of myself with these characters. 

You could easily spend a whole day there with plenty to do and see.
