The Great Ocean Road

Torquay marks the beginning of Australia’s Great Ocean Road, one of the most iconic and scenic coastal drives in the world.

Each stop along the way has sights worth experiencing, and Torquay is no different. Enjoy the sights of Australia’s surfing capital and take in the relaxed, community atmosphere. Follow the road along the Surf Coast to Bells Beach, the location for Australia’s most prominent surfing contests, and either catch some waves yourself or watch the enthusiastic locals.

Whether you’re beginning your journey or on your way home, make The Dunes Village one of your stops. This new retail and community hub is the perfect place to rest and restock before continuing your journey.

Check out the Surf Coast Shire website for information on upcoming events such as weekend markets and the upcoming, November Black Diamond Afterglow Twilight-Night Trail Run.
