Among Australia’s many bucket list destinations, sits the rugged wonder that is the Great Ocean Road. This 240 kilometre stretch between Victoria’s Torqay and Allansford is home to wild cliffs and beloved surf breaks, alongside a cluster of coastal communities that are well worth your time and attention (we promise). You won’t regret a roadtrip along its length, paying a visit to these memorable towns and landmarks - we suggest the following itinerary.
TORQUAY
Kick off in Torquay, home to the famed surfing mecca that is Bells Beach. If you’re inclined for a paddle this is the place to do it, but that’s not all that there is to do around these parts. Torquay is full of adventure opportunities thanks to its proximity to The Point Addis Marine National Park. It’s here you’ll find bushwalking trails and secluded beaches galore. Food options aren’t lacking around Torquay either, but it’s the tipple department where the town is flourishing, with a rising number of breweries and distilleries like Great Ocean Road Distillery and Sou’West Brewery.
