Cunningham Pier is a long, historic waterfront structure first built in the 1850s as a working railway pier for cargo transport. Extending into Corio Bay, it has evolved into an iconic landmark and event space with fantastic sweeping views of the Geelong skyline. Though no longer used for shipping, it remains a focal point of the waterfront’s heritage, and is an ideal place to capture some memorable photos while you’re here.

Eastern Beach Swimming Enclosure

Highlight • Beach

The Eastern Beach Swimming Enclosure is a historic, shark-proof sea bath in Corio Bay, with a unique curved boardwalk and Art Deco design dating back to the 1930s. The large saltwater enclosure includes a large tower, diving boards, floating platforms, and a separate shallow children’s pool, making it one of Geelong’s most popular and family-friendly swimming areas. Surrounded by beautifully landscaped open space it's ideal for a picnic. You'll also find toilets, dressing rooms and an on-site café, which is why it remains a central attraction on the waterfront.
