Located at the foothills of the Otways and in the heart of the Great Ocean Road region, laidback Apollo Bay boasts a wide, crescent-shaped sandy swimming beach set against a backdrop of rolling green hills, waterfalls, and national and state parks. Like many destinations along the Great Ocean Road, the beach is a focus for year-round activity. Swim in the clear water, sea kayak with local seals, indulge in some deep-sea fishing, learn to surf, or horse ride along the beach at sunset. Head to Marriners Lookout Road and Cape Patton near Wye River for panoramic views over the town
