Apollo Bay

A quaint, sleepy little town about mid-way along the Great Ocean Road. Stunning beach with absolutely awesome sunrises. Gets very busy with tourists from Melbourne (and elsewhere) in Summer, but in the quieter months you'll practically have the place to yourself

Apollo Bay, like other small towns on Ocean Road, has perfect living facilities, delicious seafood and beautiful beach scenery. Visitors can enjoy fresh and delicious seafood dishes made by locals here, and they can also go fishing with the villagers. Not bad.

Apollo Bay is backed by the Otvi Mountains, with a wide white sand beach in front of it. Close to Moorburn and the gold mine Ballarat, the bay is half-moon-shaped and beautiful scenery. It was a whaling station in the 1830s. It was settled in 1856 and has the largest freezer factory in the country. It is a famous surfing resort!

stopped by here for lunch on our way back to Melbourne. The fish & chips was good and the view was really superb!

In Apollo, there is actually an Apollo Bay in Melbourne, Australia. It is estimated that there are Italian immigrants, so I took the name.
