All About

Great Ocean Way

Highlights

The Great Ocean Drive is a 40 kilometre circular loop drive taking in some of the most beautiful coastal scenery Australia has to offer. The sheltered, pristine beaches with their crystal clear waters and snow-white sands, including the popular Twilight Beach, are ideal for family swimming, surfing, windsurfing and fishing. Also included in the drive is the Rotary lookout, the Synergy wind farms, Observatory Point and some local businesses Cindy Poole Section Glass Gallery and Cafe and the Lucky Bay Brewery.

A walking and cycling trail from the Rotary lookout to Twilight Beach is a pleasant way to see the sights. Please keep in mind to take care when ever on the coastal rocks or swimming, your enjoyment and safety is their concern, but your responsibility.
