Built around a waterfront settlement on Port Phillip, Portarlington grew into a coastal town on Victoria’s Bellarine Peninsula. Its long pier looks across the bay toward Melbourne, while the foreshore forms the centre of daily life for swimmers, boaters and ferry passengers. Portarlington is an important base for the local mussel industry, celebrated each year at the Portarlington Mussel Festival. The town also retains the Portarlington Mill, a 19th-century flour mill that recalls the peninsula’s early European settlement. Vineyards, farm gates and bay beaches spread across the surrounding Bellarine. Browse additional webcams from the Bellarine Peninsula and Port Phillip to extend your view of coastal Victoria.
