BCF Mentone: Your Bayside Gateway to Unforgettable Boating, Camping and Fishing Adventures

BCF Mentone is more than just a retail outlet – it is a hub for outdoor enthusiasts who live for life on the water, under the stars or on the open road. Whether you are casting a line at Mordialloc Pier, launching a boat into Port Phillip Bay or packing the 4WD for a weekend escape to Wilsons Promontory or the Dandenong Ranges, this local store has everything you need to make your next adventure safe, comfortable and successful.

Located at the bustling 5/25 Nepean Highway, the store is perfectly positioned for residents of Mentone, Cheltenham, Mordialloc, Black Rock and beyond. Its bright blue façade, complete with the iconic BCF logo and eye-catching window displays of rugged landscapes and fishing scenes, welcomes customers the moment they pull into the generous car park.

 

A One-Stop Shop for Every Outdoor Passion

BCF Mentone stocks an impressive range of quality gear across boating, camping, fishing, caravanning and 4WD categories. From premium Shimano rods and reels tailored for local favourites such as snapper, whiting and tuna, to robust Wanderer tents, swags and sleeping bags from Darche, the selection caters equally to weekend warriors and seasoned experts.

Fishing enthusiasts will appreciate the dedicated tackle section with species-specific lures, lines and accessories, while boat owners can source marine electronics, safety equipment, anchors and even custom marine carpet cutting on site. Campers and caravanners are well catered for with Weber barbecues, YETI coolers and drinkware built to withstand Australia’s coastal conditions, plus Slumberest mattresses – Australian-made with a five-year warranty – that turn any camper trailer, caravan or boat into a comfortable home away from home.

 

4WD adventurers will find a full suite of XTM recovery gear, roof racks, storage solutions and accessories to tackle everything from beach runs to inland tracks. The store also carries a wide selection of camping furniture, cooking equipment, lighting, first-aid kits and clothing, ensuring you leave fully prepared no matter the destination.
