Where bush meets the beach
Set between the sparkling waters of Loutit Bay and the majesty of the Otway National Park, Lorne is a spectacular and refreshing place.
With more than 10 waterfalls within 10 kilometres of Lorne, there are plenty of amazing natural wonders to discover. For the endless waterfall chasers, there are beautiful cascades all around the region to explore, so get chasing with our waterfalls guide.
Lorne’s stunning mix of natural wonders will have you feeling refreshed and re-invigorated.
You’ll fall in love with the gentle song of rolling waves and turquoise waters of Lorne, as your toes dance in the soft, warm sand.
Visit the Great Ocean Road Heritage Centre (located within the Lorne Visitor Information Centre) that tells the story of the Great Ocean Road – the story unknown by many – which will make your visit to the region even richer.
Dive into Lorne’s illustrious food culture and be blown away by our local flair for fresh harvest and tasty meals.
If the arts is your thing, you’ll feel quite at home in Lorne, which boasts a spirited arts community.

All year round, you can pop into Qdos Arts to check out the constantly changing exhibits and outdoor sculpture park.
It’s where bush meets the sea so why choose between chasing waterfalls or chasing waves! You can have it all in one Great Weekend.
