The Ocean Grove area offers probably
the most diverse fishing experiences in the Geelong region.
Ocean Grove adjoins the Barwon River near Barwon Heads and
benefits from both river sea fishing.
The Barwon River at Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads is salt
water, as it comes from the salty lake Connewarre.
Mullaways are the prized catch of this region of the Barwon,
while downstream of the bridge
whiting,
snapper and
mullet are caught from the Barwon Heads jetty.
Boats out from the heads catch various species of shark,
snapper, barracoutta and
salmon.
Fishermen on the surf beach regularly catch salmon, silver
trevally and good size luderick.

The recently renovated main street, The Terrace, features good
surf gear shopping and gourmet restaurants and cafes taking in
the alfresco streetscape.
Ocean Grove is only minutes away from the family attractions

religious camp, it was set up by the American and
Victorian Methodist Churches.
