Apollo Bay’s 3-kilometre, east-facing beach offers safe, patrolled waters (during peak periods) and a variety of activities, from swimming, surfing, and fishing to boating, sandcastle building, and beach cricket. The southern end, near Point Bunbury and the harbour wall, forms a sheltered bay ideal for families and casual swimmers. This is where the Apollo Bay Life Saving Club operates patrols during summer and busy weekends, ensuring safe conditions for bathers.
As you move north from the sheltered bay, the swell gradually increases, creating opportunities for surfing and fishing along the open stretch of coast. While the surf here is generally fun and manageable, rips and larger waves can develop further north, so caution is advised. Apollo Bay is also known as a great spot for beginners, with local surf schools making the most of the gentler breaks near the harbour. Lifeguards patrol throughout the summer months, ensuring the beach remains safe for all visitors.
Beach Matting Available and a TrailRider All Terrain Wheelchair is available for hire at the Apollo Bay Visitors Information Centre.
