Bells Beach is a famous surf beach on the Great Ocean Road near Torquay, known for its powerful swells and sweeping cliffs overlooking the Southern Ocean. It's one of Australia’s most celebrated surfing spots and hosts the long-running Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach each year, attracting top international surfers. To access the beach, there is a set of steps descending from the clifftop, with fantastic views over a wide arc of coastline shaped by consistent surf and coastal erosion.
