Victoria is home to some of the most beautiful and picturesque beach scenes.

Summer is here and you are madly trying to book that perfect beachside holiday.bYou can almost feel the sand under your toes and sea breeze in your hair but the year has left your wallet a little tattered. It is possible to still have a beach break without costing the earth - so where do you go?



Victoria has some of the most picturesque beach scenes in Australia.

Most people have heard of the famous ones, including Lorne or Bells Beach, but these can get expensive. Where else are some other great beaches that won't break the bank?

Docklands (whilst not really a beach but more of a bay) has lovely views and city experiences, but the cost factor and lack of sand perhaps drops it out of this list.

Whether you are looking for the most beautiful, the most peaceful, always the most affordable, we would love to hear your suggestions.

**What are your favourite beach-side locations to travel to in the summer season?
**
To get the ball rolling, here are a few suggestions:

Made famous by the TV aeries Sea Change Barwon Heads has been a favourite holiday destination for decades.

If you book well in advance, you can get in Barwon Heads caravan park and over the summer season, they organise a whole array of activities for children to keep them happy and busy, so you get to have a break also. If camping is not your style, they also have a few cabins and self-contained units.

From Barwon Heads, you can walk around the bluff, looking for crabs along gentle surf, where the kids can safely swim along the estuary, making this a perfect holiday destination. A new footbridge assists to walk across the bridge and over to Ocean Grove. With a lovely long stretch of white sandy beach, plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants for dinner or rainy days and lazy evenings, the two locations combine to make a great vacation.

In the same general vicinity is the lovely ferry terminal town of Portarlington. These days there is a ferry that runs directly to Portarlington from Docklands - you no longer even have to drive here. You can simply book online (or collect a ticket at the ferry) Walk up to the high-speed catamaran and relax for your trip over the bay.

If you have booked into the Portarlington Caravan park, you will alight and can walk to your caravan park or accommodation, to enjoy a stress-free vacation. Click HERE for the Port Phillip Bay ferries.



In between the Barwon Heads and Portarlington is the up and coming town of Clifton Springs.

The Clifton Springs beach is much more subdued, however, it's quite shallow for a long way out, making it a safe options for children and you can snorkel along the broken pier looking at tiny puffer fish and seahorses near the poles.

The Clifton Springs Golf Club does reasonably priced pub style meals and you can find a few reasonably priced B&Bs in Clifton Springs and Drysdale.
