OCEAN Grove locals have always been the backbone of The Dunes.

Long before the summer crowds arrive and long after they’ve gone, it’s the familiar faces – the regulars, the Sunday morning coffee crowd, the families who’ve made us part of their routine – who keep this place going.

The team does not take that for granted.

Perched above the surf beach on Surf Beach Road, The Dunes has always aimed to be a place that works for everyday life on the Bellarine, not just special occasions.

Fresh, local produce. Wood-fired pizzas, hearty pastas, great seafood. Cocktails worth lingering over. A view that earns its reputation every single day. And a kiosk open from 6.30am for those who need coffee before the rest of the world catches up – plus takeaway available, for when life calls for something quick and easy.

This winter, The Dunes is making it even easier to come through the door with its weekly specials, running all day, not just at dinner.

Pasta Tuesday: the team’s favourite selection of house pastas at a price that makes midweek feel like a treat.

Wood-fired Wednesday: any pizza from the wood-fired oven for just $20. Simple, and very good.

Parmi Thursday: because some traditions exist for a reason.

Throughout June, July and August, The Dunes has also brought back Happy Month – its most popular winter offering.

That means $7 house wine and beer and $10 espresso martinis, all day, every day for three full months.

Whether you’re ducking in after a beach walk or settling in for the afternoon, there’s no better time to make yourself at home.

And for those with bigger celebrations on the horizon, The Dunes Wedding Expo will take place on on Sunday 19 July between 11am–3pm.

Come and see the space dressed up, meet the team and discover an incredible group of vendors while sampling complimentary drinks and canapes.

Who better to trust with the big moments than the place that’s already part of your everyday?
