If you are planning a trip to Geelong or the Surf coast this Summer, you won’t want to miss out on these top sights or Geelong’s best acai bowls.
Geelong is a much-loved summer destination, perfect for outdoor activities like hitting the beaches of the Bellarine Peninsula or Surf coast and home of many great events like the Rip to River or Iron Man. The team at Detox Superfood Bar, will serving up Geelong’s best acai bowls made from free trade acai and high-quality fresh ingredients all summer long. Whilst we are closed on the main public holidays we thought we would share our insider tips to making the most out of your Geelong getaway.
Best beaches in Geelong:
If you are staying in Geelong CBD, Eastern Beach is likely the easiest spot for you. It is also ideal for families with young kids as there is a mini splash pool as well as a playground and miniature train.
The Bellarine Peninsula is home to our favourite beaches in the area as they are often quieter than the busy Surfcoast hot spots like Torquay. If you are willing to travel a few kilometers out of Geelong stop by Indented Head beach. The water is so clear, especially towards the end of the day.
Finally, if you are looking for a great surf beach in Geelong you can’t go past Ocean Grove main beach or 13th beach. Just watch out for the fellow tourists!
Best wellbeing activities in Geelong:
Pakington st in Newtown Geelong is a hub for wellbeing and a great place to spend your summer holidays in Geelong. We suggest starting your morning off with a walk around the Barwon River, you could then head up Pakington street and stop by DeTox Superfood Food Bar, just a short walk from the Barwon River (faces Sharp street). DeTox is well known in Geelong for having the best healthy menu options like acai bowls and superfood smoothies. The local favourite is the number 3 acai bowl topped with bananas, strawberries, cacao nibs and the famous peanut butter.
After you have refueled, why not increase your energy levels with a Vitamin infusion at Tox Bar located just next door, or have a little bit of me time with a Hydrafacial. Once you are suitably relaxed, take a leisurely stroll into the local boutiques where you will find a great selection of independent and well-known shops like Kookai and Ena Pelly. Finally, you could finish your day off with a Sauna and Cold plunge at the recently opened Zen life. Tranquility awaits!
