The Western Beach Boat Club was founded in 1955 and is ideally located along the foreshores of Corio Bay, Geelong, in the state of Victoria. We are in close proximity to Smorgy's restaurant on Cunningham Pier, and in particular Steampacket Place, where much development is currently taking place We are only walking distance from the main shopping centre of Geelong and also to the many attractions including the National Wool Museum.
Our clubrooms overlook the bay and also has historical
significance
to Geelong. It was in the last century, approximately 118 years ago
that
the building was used as the boatshed for the Corio Bay Rowing Club.
The
building is well equipped with a recently refurbished kitchen, which is
big enough to hold functions including weddings of up to 70 guests.
There
are several social functions held throughout the year including the
Club
Open Day, family functions and BBQs.
The Club also holds a Restricted Club Liquor Licence to sell Liquor
on the premises.
