The Area: Torquay, VIC

Famous for its spectacular surf breaks and picturesque shores with wide grassy knolls and large shady trees, beachfront Torquay is a much-loved gem along the majestic Great Ocean Road. Famed as Victoria’s surfing capital, the resort town captures the spirit of Aussie surf culture, but also surprises and delights visitors with its buzzing atmosphere, stunning coastal walks and quaint township with shops, cafés and restaurants. 

Torquay is just a two-hour drive from the heart of Melbourne, with dual lane highways which are clearly signposted. Avalon Airport is close by and operates services from most Australian cities, and there is a V/Line train service also operating. Although population is at its largest during summer, the bustling tourist centre is a hive of activity all year round

Soak up true blue Aussie surf culture and catch some waves at Bells Beach, famed as the home of the Rip Curl Pro, or head across the road to Whites Beach and take in the spectacular views along the Surf Coast Walk. Head down to Torquay’s bustling centre and visit the many cafés and restaurants, or head to the Torquay Central shopping centre, a shopaholic’s dream. Indulge inner-romantics with a windswept horse ride along the beach or through the bush, which can be arranged at reception, or visit the famous Surfworld Museum for a dose of surf history.
