Moving to Geelong? Here’s Your Ultimate Coastal Welcome Guide 

Moving to Geelong

Welcome to Geelong — where the ocean breeze smells like freedom, the sunsets are showstoppers, and life moves at just the right pace. Whether you're swapping the city skyline for salty air, or chasing a sea change that actually lives up to the dream, one thing’s for sure: you’re going to love it here.

Why Everyone’s Falling in Love with Geelong

Geelong isn’t just Victoria’s second city — it’s a full-blown lifestyle upgrade. Picture this: world-class beaches just minutes from your doorstep, vibrant local cafes, weekend markets, waterfront walks, and day trips down the iconic Great Ocean Road. And let’s not forget the best part — no Melbourne traffic. 🙌

It’s a coastal town that’s big enough to have what you need, but small enough to bump into your barista at the beach. You’ll soon be throwing around words like “Pako” and "parmi" like a true local.

Your Home Deserves Some Coastal Soul

As you start setting up your new digs — whether it’s a modern townhouse in Newtown, a beachy bungalow in Ocean Grove, or a classic charmer in East Geelong — now’s the time to bring in the vibes.

Enter: Local Breaks — your new go-to for premium coastal artwork of Geelong, the Surf Coast, the Bellarine Peninsula, and beyond.

My prints capture the places you’ll soon call your favourites: the Eastern Beach boardwalk at golden hour, misty mornings at Point Lonsdale, glassy waves rolling into Torquay. These aren’t just photos. They’re a feeling.
