Let me help you plan your Great Ocean Road trip
I am here to help you explore the Great Ocean Road region, but I’m still learning and can make mistakes. For the best local advice, visit a visitor information centre. This is a large region, so plan for travel distances and your length of stay.
Hello











Discover the joy of surfing with Dawn Surf Co., an affiliated surf school with Surfing Victoria and a licensed Parks Victoria tour operator. The taster surf lesson is the perfect introduction for adults wanting to experience the ocean in a relaxed, supportive environment.
Set along the beautiful beaches of Anglesea, this two-hour session blends ocean education, hands-on surf coaching, and plenty of fun.
With small, adult-only groups, you’ll receive personalised attention from experienced instructors who take the time to guide you through every step, from understanding surf conditions to mastering your first pop-up.
You will use premium surf gear (boards and wetsuits provided) and choose each day’s beach based on the best conditions: calm, crowd-free, and perfect for beginners.
Whether you’re ticking learn to surf off your bucket list or curious to try something new, this beginner-friendly experience in Anglesea (with nearby sessions in Torquay and Lorne) is the perfect way to start your surfing journey.
With small groups (maximum five surfers), you’ll get more coaching, more waves, and more confidence in the water.
