Growing up watching The Endless Summer on repeat, this beach always had a special appeal to me. So to sit on its glorious sands and watch the surfers live was a dream come true. If you are into surf culture then this is a must and is easy to visit when traveling on the Great Ocean Road. A tip: arrive late in the afternoon and hang around for the sunset.
