Exploring Torquay

The soft, deep bronze sands and glittering oceans that line the town of Torquay are a popular destination for beach loungers, families, and surfers alike. Torquay also marks the gateway to the Great Ocean Road that winds its way along the coast and is the largest war memorial in the world, built to honor the soldiers of World War I. Being a surfing mecca, you'll often catch the surfers gliding across the foamy waves, and the headquarters of surfing brands.

Transportation in Torquay

Melbourne Airport (MEL) offers the nearest point of arrival for international visitors, or if already in the country you can hop on a V-line train from Marshall or Geelong Train stations directly to Torquay. However, hiring a car, or taking a bus along the Great Ocean Road is also highly recommended, as the road is a tourist attraction in itself, and making your arriving or return journey via this route means you won't miss out. Torquay itself is small enough that walking is an ideal way to get around, but there's also a number of local bus services to nearby Geelong.
