Top Activities for Families at Barwon Heads

Barwon Heads is one of my favourite places in the world. No question.

It has the best of all worlds: opportunity to reconnect with nature, simple pleasures like a beach walk, great coffee and beautiful natural surrounds. It has everything you could possibly want from a coastal holiday, but without the heightened frenzy of its peninsula neighbours.

Best of all Barwon Heads has something for everyone to savour, whether it be sporting pursuits (think golf, swimming, surfing, cycling, bowls, tennis for starters), pampering, solitude, a vibrant market culture, natural attractions or culinary treats.

My review of this seaside town, with an eye on the most diverse of family groups, is now published by Weekend Notes. You can read it here.
