Bells Beach Torquay
With an international reputation as one of Australia’s best surf beaches, Bells Beach Torquay is an amazing spot – either in the water or out. There isn’t much ‘beach’ there, it’s mostly a glorious cliff-face, and views from the cliff-top car park are spectacular – a great spot to watch local surfers out in the water.
There are several quality surfing spots in the Bells Beach Torquay precinct from Southside to Steps Reef. Every Easter, it hosts the International professional surfing community for the Rip Curl Pro event.
General Beach Hazard Rating: 6
Least hazardous: 1-3
Moderately hazardous: 4-6
Highly hazardous: 7-8
Extremely hazardous: 9-10
Hazard rating refers to physical beach and surf conditions ONLY and does not include potentially dangerous marine life.
SURFING
Bells is a world class sight when above 1.5m. When smaller, the waves break close in to the headland and produce a right called Rincon. Further around the head are two more reef breaks which work below 2m, called Centre Side (a right) and Southside (a left).
FISHING
The water is deep right off the beach, while at low tide you can fish from the reefs at each end.
GENERAL
One of the meccas of surfing and well worth a visit, if only to view the beach and surf from the bluffs.
