Bells Beach
- Surf spot
Bells Beach is an iconic sandy shore near Torquay on the Great Ocean Road, framed by high cliffs and powerful ocean swell. The exposed surf and possible strong currents make it a place best suited to experienced surfers, with swimming requiring careful judgement of conditions. The reserve provides a car park, viewing platforms, beach steps and access to the Surf Coast Walk, while the adjoining coast forms part of Point Addis Marine National Park.
