Eastern Beach, Victoria

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eastern Beach, Geelong, Victoria is Geelong's main recreational beach area, located on Corio Bay. Linking the city centre to Eastern Gardens and the Geelong Botanic Gardens, the beach includes a fine Art Deco lido area with a circular enclosed sea swimming pool and boardwalk.

A contemporary promenade along the open beach includes links to the Royal Geelong Yacht Club and new coastal parks, formed from former port lands. Many historic 19th century port buildings have been retained, but recent years have seen the addition of hotels, residential apartments and a landmark building enclosing a renovated steam carousel. The beach area now hosts many community events and festivals and is a popular area for walkers and cyclists.

Eastern Beach hosts many festivals and concerts year round and also hosts the annual Geelong Carols by Candlelight concert hosted by Denis Walter.
