Ocean Grove Main Beach

Last updated October 2026

Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club patrols on weekends and public holidays from November to April (Saturdays from 1pm, Sundays and public holidays from 10am, until 5pm-6pm), with lifeguards on weekdays from late November to February. The Victorian Government says the main beach is patrolled every summer by volunteers from the club; no patrol hours are published on an official page, so swim only between the red and yellow flags while lifesavers are on duty. The City of Greater Geelong lists BBQ facilities, public toilets and free parking, and dogs must be on a leash. Barwon Coast has refurbished the main beach toilet block, including showers, and the beach has an all-abilities access ramp and accessible parking. The Disabled Surfers Association offers beach wheelchairs free of charge by arrangement. Nearby (OpenStreetMap): The Dunes Ocean Grove (restaurant, about 10 m).
