Experienced surfers will enjoy swells of up to 6 metres - as well as sweeping views of Victoria's Surfcoast and a great resort town.
Approximately 2-hours from Melbourne and nestled in between Torquay and Anglesea - along the Great Ocean Road - Bells Beach offers picturesque yellow ochre and clay coloured cliffs that melt into sandy beaches met by dark, deep blue water.
2000 Victoria Open Champion Troy Brooks describes Bells Beach as unique - 'Not many places in the world have waves, huge cliffs and no pollution.' In 1973 Bells Beach was declared a Recreation Reserve by the state government - protecting the ocean and the beach for surfers.
For a great view of the big ground swells formed by the underwater reefs or to recall scenes from Point Break - head to the Bells Beach cliff-top carpark.
Also check out the rugged sandstone cliffs at Point Addis Marine National Park that extends along 10 kilometres of coastline between Anglesea and Bells Beach.
