At The Heads is a seafood-focused restaurant built on the Barwon Heads jetty on Victoria's Bellarine Peninsula, roughly 25 minutes from Geelong. Couples can marry indoors, on nearby grassy areas or on the beach at the Barwon River mouth, then hold the reception in a timber-and-glass dining room facing the water and The Bluff.

A restaurant on the Barwon Heads jetty, with the option of marrying on the beach at the river mouth. Seafood-focused and full of character, for up to 120 seated.
