Apollo Bay
The largest seaside town along the Great Ocean Road, backed by the green hills of the Otway Ranges. Its long beach and fresh seafood from the fishing harbour make it the most common overnight stop.
Apollo Bay lies at the midpoint of the Great Ocean Road, the last supply stop before Cape Otway and the Twelve Apostles. The town has a long sandy beach, and the fishing co-operative sells fresh abalone and lobster. There are also many cafés and restaurants. Marriners Lookout gives a view over the whole bay and surrounding hills. Nearby rainforest attractions include the Maits Rest trail and Hopetoun Falls. From Melbourne, the drive along the coast takes about 3 to 3.5 hours.
