Bells Beach – Torquay info:Bells Beach is an internationally famous surf beach located 100 km south-west of Melbourne, on the Great Ocean Road near the towns of Torquay and Jan Juc.

Bells Beach is a long, generous, slightly archaic surf break in the Australian state of Victoria. There isn’t really much “Beach” at Bells Beach. There is, however, a beautiful rocky cliff, rolling farmland to the north, and the nearby welcoming small town of Torquay, home to two or the surf industry’s biggest names, Rip Curl wetsuits, and Quiksilver clothing.

Although the beach was ‘featured’ in the final scene of the film Point Break, the scene was not actually filmed there. Bells Beach is a straight stretch and the beach in the film is a cove with pine trees atop a hill.

The beach is named after the family that took up the first pastoral run hereabouts in the 1840s.
