2 Famous Surfing Beaches in Torquay on Great Ocean Road, Australia

Torquay is synonymous with surfing … some boarders call it legendary. The wave action along Bells Beach and this neighbor, Winkipop, have been featured in classic films such as Point Break and The Endless Summer. Since 1962, Torquay has hosted the world’s longest running surf competition. In 1969, this town became the origin for Rip Curl and Quicksilver, two of the best surfing retailers. This proud surfing heritage is on display at Surf World Museum. Even if you are not a surfer, you will be impressed with the golden hue of the coastline near sunrise.
