Ocean Grove is a seaside resort on the Bellarine Peninsula at the mouth of the Barwon River, with nearby beaches open to Bass Strait.
It is one of the largest commercial centres on the Peninsula and its religious origins means there is no hotel in the town. There is however, a fine establishment just across the bridge in Barwon Heads.
Plenty of accommodation is available, and it is an ideal place from which to explore the Bellarine Peninsula.
A short trip to Amaze 'N Things, the Jirrahlinga Sanctuary, and the Ocean Grove Nature Reserve is a good family outing.
There is a 9 hole golf course open to the public.
