Surf Mecca


Torquay is the first stop of real significance along the Surf Coast Highway. It’s the home of the big Aussie wave, birthplace of Rip Curl and Quicksilver, and host to the famous annual Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach. This seaside town marks the beginning of the path I have chosen to travel for the next 2 months: The Great Ocean Road.


The beaches are wide and still not TOO crowded. I walked the 5 km. from Torquay to the famous Bells Beach along the beach walk. It’s got some great viewpoints of Jan Juc and Winkipop beaches along the way.
