Southside To Bells Beach Walking Track
Walk With Us
There’s no denying that we absolutely love living on the Surf Coast. Our backyard is home to one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline. I’ll never forget when we had a mate from Queensland come down and stay, he couldn’t believe his eyes - driving down the Great Ocean Road and spotting empty surf breaks, one after the after.
Nothing fills up our cup more as a family than heading out for a walk together. The track from Southside to Bells Beach is one of our favourites, it’s quick but beautiful. For anyone searching for a good dose of nature this is it, it’s usually pretty quiet - maybe because it’s not suitable for prams… so get your front packs on mummas and pappas and enjoy!
