Map showing the Bellarine Peninsula

The 'Bellarine Peninsula' is a peninsula located south-west of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia, surrounded by Port Phillip, Corio Bay and Bass Strait. The peninsula is a growing tourist region with a variety of beaches and seaside resorts and wineries, much of the area is now regarded as a part of greater Geelong. The Barwon River meets Bass Strait at Barwon Heads.
'Bellarine, Victoria' also redirects here. It is one of the parishes of the County of Grant, one of the Cadastral divisions of Australia.
A vehicle/passenger Searoad ferry service operates travelling from Queenscliff to Sorrento between the heads of Port Phillip.
The Borough of Queenscliffe, situated on the peninsula is the last remaining borough left in Victoria, and was the only Local Government Area not changed in the mass Victorian municipality reorganisation of the early 1990s enacted by then Liberal Premier Jeff Kennett.
