Clifton Springs is primarily a residential community fronting Port Phillip Bay, located between Geelong and Portarlington.

Named after mineral springs which were found in the area during 1870, Clifton Springs spans a diverse coastline consisting of a mixture of steep cliffs, sandy beaches and rocky outcrops.

A boat harbour protected by a breakwater is situated off the northern end of Jetty Road.

Major shopping facilities are available in neighbouring Drysdale to the south. Drysdale is also the terminus of the Bellarine Peninsula Railway which offers steam train rides along a restored track to Queenscliff.
