ABOUT QUEENSCLIFF LIGHTHOUSES LOOP
The Queenscliff Lighthouses Loop takes us on a gentle wander around one of the Bellarine’s most charming coastal towns. We’ll pass by both the Black Lighthouse and White Lighthouse, enjoy sweeping views of The Rip and Port Phillip Bay, walk to the end of the of historic Queenscliff Pier, and past the marina (with an optional climb to the top of the tower for ripper views. The loop also takes in the old fort and historic streets, giving a mix of nature, sea air, and heritage. A relaxed walk full of variety, views, and plenty of time to pause and take it all in.

Fun Fact:  Richelle grew up in Queenscliff, so as usual will have some stories!
