BARWON HEADS OCEAN GROVE QUEENSCLIFF AND WILLIAMSTOWN.

Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?

Although I do love the high country here in Victoria, I would have to say I prefer the beach, particularly the west coast here in Victoria. My favourite beach is Barwon Heads for families with young children and Ocean Grove as a surf beach. We used to rent holiday houses at Barwon Heads when I was a small child and I have good memories of this as a child, even though when I was a toddler walking along Thirteenth beach a freak wave carried me some distance. I’m obviously not traumatised by that because I love the beach.

I had a dream honeymoon at the seaside village of Queenscliff, not far from Barwon Heads. It is such a quaint historic and beautiful little town, full of character. Although my marriage didn’t work out, I treasure the memory of time spent in Queenscliff.

My favourite little seaside village close to Melbourne would have to be Williamstown. again, it is quaint and full of character. My parents nearly bought a house there when they were first married and I often wonder if they had lived in Williamstown would they still have had me, and how different my life would have been growing up in Williamstown. I love the shops in Williamstown and love the fish 🐟 and chip shop along the pier

I recommend that any visitors to Melbourne visit Barwon Heads, Ocean Grove, Queenscliff, and Williamstown to get an idea of what life is like in coastal Victoria.
