Escape to the ocean for a relaxing interlude or smash out an adrenaline pumping adventure in Torquay. Home to world-famous Bells Beach and the birthplace of iconic surf brands, Torquay is the surfing capital of Australia.
Whether you’re learning to surf or already one of the pros, Torquay has it all.
Surf City Plaza is the place to slip into your surfer style with all the big surf brands.
If walking is your thing, lace up your boots and start planning your Surf Coast Walk or just grab a coffee and stroll the esplanade.
Located about five kilometers southwest of Torquay, Bells is an absolute haven for experienced surfers only. In winter big swells and cold off-shore winds display Bells at its best. Bells is also the home of the famous Rip Curl Pro.
It’s impossible not to have a great weekend in or out of the water.
