Located in the beautiful south-west of Victoria, Glenelg Shire offers a spectacular array of natural attractions and historic sites.

From the rugged coastline and pristine beaches of the Southern Ocean Portland and Cape Bridgewater offer beaches, seals, whales and dolphin sightings.

The Lower Glenelg National Park offers some of the most spectacular scenery in the Shire. With steep gorges and limestone caves, the park is a popular destination for canoeing on the Glenelg River or exploring the Great South West Walk.
 
The Shire is home to one of Australia’s most significant Aboriginal tourist attractions – Budj Bim Cultural Centre where visitors can experience this ancient culture through tours with local Aboriginal guides.
 
Portland is the gateway to the world famous Great Ocean Road. Cruise ships can berth on the 1.2km long Lee Breakwater within the sheltered port for memorable half and full-day shore excursions.
 
Portland is the only international port that can claim such close proximity to Australia’s iconic Twelve Apostles, as well as the acclaimed Coonawarra wine region to the west, and the stunning Grampians National Park to the north.
 
These draw-card attractions are all within a 2 hour drive of Portland, making them a realistic day trip destination.
