Barwon Heads Bluff is a prominent coastal headland overlooking the confluence of the Barwon River and Bass Strait, offering beautiful sweeping views of the ocean, river, and surrounding coastline. This area is part of the Barwon Bluff Marine Sanctuary, where rock platforms and reefs support diverse marine life that are exposed at low tide for exploration. The walking tracks around the bluff offer fantastic panoramic views, and if you’re here during the right time of year (May to July and September to November), you’ll have a chance to spot migrating whales offshore.
