TORQUAY
Introduction
Torquay is Victoria’s
surfing capital, and a major holiday resort town, where the beach-based
culture is at its strongest.
Some of the biggest names in surfwear and accessories are headquartered
here, with huge retail outlets at Surf City Plaza selling everything
imaginable connected with the genre. The Surfworld Museum captures the
spirit of the popular pursuit in words, pictures and hands-on displays.
Torquay has the best of both worlds with its beaches — protected family
beaches, plus the action of the surging surf. Nearby Jan Juc is a little
‘wilder’. Bells Beach is next stop on the coast where the big swells
are definitely for experienced surfers. Just a short drive away, Point
Addis provides breathtaking views out to sea and back to the gently
arching bay from high up on the point. All around here the dense bush and
towering yellow cliffs contrast with the ocean’s wide blue expanse right
through to Anglesea and beyond.
Torquay is located 95km south west of Melbourne. Travel by car via the
Geelong-Surf Coast Highway. Daily rail services are available from
Melbourne to Geelong. Local bus services are available from Geelong.
