Overview

St Leonards sits on the eastern tip of the Bellarine Peninsula, just 33 km east of Geelong and a kilometre from its small airport. The coastal township is framed by calm, clean beaches and extensive salt‑marsh wildlife reserves that attract hundreds of birds, including the critically endangered orange‑bellied parrot. Its central position to the peninsula’s many wineries and eateries makes it a popular base for both locals and holidaymakers, while the Esplanade memorial and historic jetty add a touch of heritage charm.

The 2021 census recorded 3,542 residents living in 1,562 occupied dwellings, with a median age of 56, and the summer season can see the population triple as campers arrive. St Leonards offers a primary school, easy access to secondary schools in nearby Drysdale and Ocean Grove, and a range of clubs, from cricket and tennis to yachting and golf, catering to an active, community‑focused lifestyle.
