A world away...

At the mouth of the Erskine River, the Swing Bridge Café (and Paddle Boat Hire) has an ambiance that is a world away from the excitement and bustle of Lorne's main street.

Its unequaled location by the historic swing bridge where the river meets the sea is one of Lorne's best kept secrets.

From the Swing Bridge Café, easy access to the surf beach and the family friendly river and estuary beach with paddle boats for hire makes a beautiful location for a relaxing break.

Opening Hours

The Swing Bridge Café is open for breakfast from 8.00 am until sundown (every day during peak season and from 10.00 am Friday to Monday off peak) weather permitting.

The Swing Bridge Café provides a range of scrumptious snacks and light meals with regular specials, as well as bottled drinks and ice creams.

Many happy customers say we make the best coffee in Lorne, along with hot and iced chocolates and yummy fruit smoothies.

Marnie's fruit salad is not to be missed!
