Torquay is a beach-front town along the Great Ocean Road.

It is famous for its’ surfing industry.

In addition to surfing shops and manufacturers, they also have the world’s largest surfing museum.

The coast is lined with lots of shady trees, making for a great drive.

You can witness fantastic views from Yellow Bluff and Point Danger with its Anzac Memorial.

While surfing may be the primary activity here, there are other things to do as well.

Golfing, lots of shopping, fishing, hiking, and lots of great eating can be enjoyed here.

There are literally hundreds of places to stay here, so narrowing it down to three is rather difficult.
