Lorne Beach — Attraction in Victoria

Lorne Beach has two sections - the surf beach and the more sheltered areas. The main beach is a lot like Noosa Beach, in that the cove protects it, and the winds are not as severe as other beaches nearby such as Torquay Surf Beach. The way this area has been developed is perfect for families.

If you like surfing, learners and more experienced surfers will enjoy the right end of the beach when the surf is up [not as rough as Bells Beach]. You can hire boards from the Hah Cafe, found on the edge of the beach, near the amenities. For those who prefer swimming pools, try the Lorne Sea Baths.

In the evenings, it is popular with dog walkers and those wanting to take a stroll. I even witnessed a couple having a romantic dinner on the beach - table, candles etc. - thinking outside the box!

For those who don't want to swim at the beach, you have other options nearby: skate ramps, playgrounds, cafes, ice creamery, ANZAC Memorial and take away shops.

There is a mixture of on-street and set parking on the esplanade and beach.

Lorne Beach is patrolled in certain areas and is a safe place to swim. Hats, insect repellant, water, sunscreen, correct foot attire and clothing are recommended. Perfect any time of year and if you enjoy a walk- left to the Lorne Swing Bridge and right all the way down to the Lorne Pier. [You can also get...

Been holidaying here since the 1970’s and despite its gradual development, Lorne has retained it’s charm and natural assets that make a trip here worthwhile. Meander down the Princes Hwy from Melbourne, take the turn through Torquay, slowly cruise through Anglesea (worth a stop and if you play golf, head the the Anglesea Golf Club). Wind your way through Airey’s Inlet, hit the Great Ocean Road and arrive at beautiful Lorne. The beach has beautiful soft sand, the fabulous Otway forest creating a natural amphitheatre around the Lorne main street. Well worth the trip, and make sure you stay for a day or...
