At The Heads: Bellarine Peninsula’s coastal gem impresses with seafood delights and spectacular views

Words by Chloe Cicero 

Perched unassumingly on the Barwon Heads pier, At The Heads boasts stunning views extending from Barwon Bluff to Port Phillip Heads and beyond.

This iconic restaurant offers diners an unparalleled oceanfront experience and has long been the go-to spot for modern Australian cuisine with a seafood focus on the Bellarine Peninsula.

For over two decades, At The Heads has been a culinary haven. Initially a fishing co-op and even featured in the popular ABC TV series Sea Change, it has evolved into a thriving restaurant under the adept guidance of Sea Change Hospitality for the past eight years. Exciting renovations are on the horizon, with the team eagerly awaiting their unveiling.
