Bells Beach is a coastal locality of Victoria, Australia in Surf Coast Shire and a renowned surf beach, located 100 km south-west of Melbourne, on the Great Ocean Road near the towns of Torquay and Jan Juc.
- High cliffs provide a dramatic backdrop to the natural amphitheatre
of the beach and large swells from the Southern Ocean, which slow down
and steepen over the reef-strewn shallows, create the outstanding surf.
- If you're a sightseer, Bells Beach is a popular spot with great
vantage points along the cliff.
- For surfers, Bells Beach is really for
the experienced.
- The beach is an exposed reef and point break with
excellent right hand breaks, at their best during autumn and winter.
- Bells Beach is the home of the world's longest-running surfing competition – the Rip Curl Pro Surf & Music Festival. The event was formerly known as the Bells Beach Surf Classic
