Outdoor activities in the Great Ocean Road
If you are heading out of doors in the Great Ocean Road, the beautiful beaches are bound to feature. The ocean offers great waves for swimmers and surfers, different vantage points and lucky catches for recreational anglers and is a beautiful backdrop, both in sight and sound, for cycling, horse riding, kayaking, golf and rambling coastal cliff top walks.
The Otway Ranges provide plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventure from exhilarating downhill mountain bike rides to challenging four-wheel drive trails and beautiful rainforest walks. For a unique view of the region, take to the air and enjoy breathtaking views of the coast from a small plane or a helicopter.
