Welcome to Torquay - surfing ground zero and start to the Great Ocean Road.

Time and tideTake your time. Whether you’re chasing wicked waves, angling for adventure or seeking out solitude, Torquay boasts an abundance of things to do, see and taste. Just 95km south west of Melbourne, Torquay has thrived, from its origins in the psyches of free surfers in the 1950s and 1960s, into a hotspot for all things surfi ng and a popular holiday haven for the young and young at heart.

It's the vibeIt’s easy to tap into Australia’s home of surfi ng: endless beaches, big surf brands at Surf City Plaza shopping precinct, the relaxed vibe at eateries and drink stops, and the coastal-cool character of the locals. Come at Easter and join in the excitement of the Rip Curl Pro international surfi ng competition.

On the edgeThis is where the Great Ocean Road begins, where the Southern Ocean meets towering cliffs and sandy stretches, and the perfect location to begin (or end) your regional adventure. Step back into surfi ng history at the Australian National Surfi ng Museum, dine in style within earshot of crashing waves, follow an arts trail or buckle on a backpack and cycle a clifftop track. Whatever you choose to do here, Torquay offers something fresh at every turn.
