Discover the Pristine Beauty of Apollo Bay Beach

Getting There

• Car

  If you're driving along the Great Ocean Road, make your way to Apollo Bay. From Lorne, follow the Great Ocean Road (B100) heading towards Apollo Bay for approximately 45 minutes (about 38 km). You will pass through scenic coastal views and lush forests. Upon reaching Apollo Bay, look for signs directing you to the beach area. There is ample parking available along the waterfront, but be aware that some areas may charge a fee, especially during peak tourist seasons.

• Public Transportation

  To reach Apollo Bay Beach using public transport, you can take the V/Line bus service from Melbourne. Board a bus at Southern Cross Station heading to Apollo Bay. The journey takes around 3.5 to 4 hours, depending on traffic. Once you arrive at the Apollo Bay bus stop, it's a short walk (approximately 1 km) to the beach. Follow the main road (Great Ocean Road) towards the coastline, and you'll see Apollo Bay Beach ahead.

• Taxi or Rideshare

  If you prefer a more direct route without public transport schedules, consider booking a taxi or using a rideshare service like Uber. This option is ideal if you are already in a nearby town or wish to avoid the hassle of public transport. The cost will vary based on your starting location, but from major points like Lorne or Torquay, expect to pay upwards of AUD 80-100 for the trip to Apollo Bay Beach.

• Cycling

  For the more adventurous, you can cycle from nearby towns like Lorne or Skenes Creek to Apollo Bay. The coastal bike path offers stunning views but can be challenging due to some steep sections. Make sure to check your bike's condition, wear a helmet, and bring enough water. This option can take 2-3 hours depending on your pace and fitness level.
