“You will appreciate this place when you take your time to immerse and be part of this unspoiled paradise.”
Here are some ideas what to do in Apollo Bay.
Start my experience; I will spend my time just in town. We’ll visit the Marriners Lookout which takes about 5 minutes by car each way or 45 minutes on foot each way from the center of the town. The views of the township of Apollo Bay and surrounding areas are spectacular. Great place for an awesome and unforgettable selfie ….
Next, I will go to visit the Marengo Marine Sanctuary and experience up close the seals in their natural environment, and also learn about the marine ecology of Bass Strait and the Great Southern Ocean. I will book myself to the Seal Kayak Tours. More information can be obtained from the friendly staff at The Great Ocean Road Visitor Information Center in Apollo Bay. Apollo Bay also has a surf club which will delight the younger esteemed visitors. Suggestion for summer period, you might like to learn how to surf. This is very popular activity for all age.
There is also the Apollo Bay History Trail which consists of a sculpture trail in the town. The trail may lead you to the Apollo Bay harbour where visitors might enjoy the fishing activities. Hopefully, by now, you have worked up a good appetite which can be satisfied with a meal at the @Fishermen Co-Op where the fish is certainly fresh and the views while you enjoying your food are definitely spectacular.
These activities can take half a day or full day.
