8 Must See Destinations on Your Melbourne to Great Ocean Road Drive

Torquay

The official start of the Great Ocean Road, Torquay is a surfer’s paradise and ii home to Bells Beach, one of Australia’s most famous surf breaks, as well as the Surf Coast Walk, which is perfect for stretching your legs before hitting the road again.

Anglesea

A little further along the road, Anglesea is a relaxed coastal town where kangaroos are often spotted on the local golf course. It’s a great place to pull over and enjoy an afternoon of river kayaking, coastal walks, or a beach picnic.

Lorne

Lorne is a must-stop for anyone who loves a mix of beaches, cafes, and nature. You can wander along Mountjoy Parade for shopping and great food, or if you’re in the mood for something a little more scenic, take a quick detour to see Erskine Falls tucked away in the hinterland.

Apollo Bay

Halfway along the Great Ocean Road, Apollo Bay is a seaside village that makes for a perfect lunch or overnight stop. Here, you’ll find fresh seafood, friendly locals, and the beautiful backdrop of the Otways.

Great Otway National Park

The drive through the Otways is nothing short of magical, and as you pull into Great Otway National Park, you can trek through rainforests and fern gullies to get that real back-to-nature experience. There are also waterfalls like Hopetoun Falls and Triplet Falls within easy reach, and the entire park is a nice contrast to the coastal scenery you’ve had so far.

Twelve Apostles

Arguably the highlight of the Great Ocean Road, the Twelve Apostles are dramatic limestone stacks rising out of the Southern Ocean. Sunrise or sunset is the best time to visit for spectacular colours and photo opportunities, and there are usually fewer crowds at these times, too.

Port Campbell

Just past the Twelve Apostles, Port Campbell is a small but lively town where you can grab a bite to eat, refuel, and take in more natural wonders like Loch Ard Gorge and the London Arch.

Warrnambool

At the western end of the drive, Warrnambool is a great spot for whale watching in winter, as well as home to art and food scenes. This is a fitting final stop before looping back towards Melbourne or continuing further west.
