Belmont: Discover the Foreshore, Baths and Trails

Belmont offers three distinct starting points for planning your trip: a lakeside reserve, Belmont Baths and a multi-use track. Picnics and lake views, swimming, and walking, running or cycling each offer a different focus.

Picnics and lake views at Green Point Foreshore Reserve

Green Point Foreshore Reserve connects Belmont and Valentine. It is beside the lake and offers picnic areas and lake views. If you want to make picnics and lake views the focus of your stay, these features match that preference. Belmont Baths are different: a swimming area and a jetty are their main features. A lakeside picnic and a swimming activity are therefore two different ways to plan your stay, even though both involve water.

Swimming and access at Belmont Baths

Belmont Baths has a 70-metre-long jetty and a 45-metre-wide swimming area. The two measurements refer to different parts of the facility: one describes the length of the jetty, the other the width of the swimming area. For people with mobility limitations, an access ramp leads to a deep-water platform. A Mobi Aquatic Chair can also be borrowed from the council for wheelchair access to Belmont Baths; it is available on request. For planning purposes, the ramp and chair offer different access options: the ramp leads to the platform, while you need to request the chair from the council. Arrange the loan before your trip and check the baths’ current conditions before visiting.

Facilities at the baths and nearby

Facilities at Belmont Baths include toilets, cold showers, picnic tables and covered areas. There is also a playground, a table tennis table and cafés near the baths. This distinction helps you separate facilities at the swimming area from nearby amenities. Since facilities and nearby amenities can change, check local information before visiting.

Walking, running and cycling on the track

The Fernleigh Awabakal Shared Track connects Belmont with Blacksmiths and is suitable for walking, running and cycling. The track offers three ways to get active: walking and running on foot, or cycling. If your trip plans focus more on exercise than on picnics or swimming, this is a relevant theme. You can decide whether the track matters to your trip idea based on the type of activity you prefer.

Belmont as a destination for your hotel search

This way, you can connect your choice of destination with a specific reason for travelling before comparing hotel offers.
