There’s nothing like getting the family out on the water, and Anglesea’s beaches make it easy for everyone to give surfing a try. With gentle waves and a relaxed vibe, Anglesea Main Beach is the perfect spot for beginners to dip a toe (or a whole board!) into the world of surfing. The shallow waters offer a safe, fun way to learn, with instructors from local surf schools guiding you every step of the way.
Anglesea isn’t just for beginners, though. If you’re up for a bit more of a challenge, there are plenty of nearby spots to explore, like Point Roadknight with its protected cove, ideal for building confidence.
And yes, you’ll need a wetsuit—our southern waters stay cool year-round. There’s no need to worry about bringing your own gear, though; rentals are easy to find, and surf lessons usually include wetsuits to keep you comfortable.
While you’re out on the waves, a few friendly surf etiquette rules keep things fun for everyone. Give others space to ride, respect the local beach rules, and start on waves that match your skill level. A little courtesy goes a long way, making sure the surf experience is enjoyable for all.
