If you're feeling more energetic, walk about 1.5 kilometres north from Apollo Bay along the beach or Great Ocean Road, then climb a steep hill along a surfaced road for another 1.5 kilometres to the lookout track (take heed of passing traffic).
Marriners Lookout is a popular take-off point for hang gliders. With the right conditions you may see someone take off.

Just past Apollo Bay, off the world famous Great Ocean Road, Marengo Reefs Marine Sanctuary protects 12ha of ocean waters. About 150m offshore, this sanctuary protects a reef system known as Little Henty Reef.
Two sections of the reef, the inner and outer reef, are usually exposed and separated by a narrow channel known as ‘The Gap’. Composed of sandstone they support wonderful inter-tidal and sub-tidal reefs which are packed with sea life. Visitors exploring the intertidal reef may come across many invertebrates including sea snails, tubeworms and abalone.
In slightly deeper waters there are beautiful seaweed gardens including towering Bull Kelp forests and beds of delicate green and red species. Between the two small islands, calmer waters support colourful soft corals, sponge gardens and sea urchins.
The diverse range of habitats provides resources for a huge range of species including Australian Fur Seals, schools of Zebra Fish and many species of wrasse. Apollo Bay Surf & Kayak and Apollo Bay Fishing and Adventure Tours provide guided scenic tours to the reef. Visitors can access Marengo Reefs Marine Sanctuary by a short swim from shore (making sure to check sea conditions and being mindful of rips) or via boat (launching point in Apollo Bay).

On the shores of a 3km long eastern facing beach, Apollo Bay provides safe, patrolled (during peak periods) waters for swimming, surfing, fishing, boating, sand castle building and beach cricket.
Starting at the South end of the beach, Point Bunbury and the harbour wall create a protected bay best suited for families and leisurely bathers. This is the area patrolled by the Apollo Bay Life Saving Club during the summer months and popular weekends.
Moving north away from the breakwater of Point Bunbury, the swell starts to build, providing space for the coastal staples of surfing and fishing. Surf along this stretch of coast provides fun and relatively safe conditions, although caution is recommended as rips along with wave size build the further north you travel.

The only thing that compares to snagging a fish are the places you get to visit in doing so. Apollo Bay ticks both boxes - teaming rivers, beaches and seas providing both picturesque backdrops and bountiful takings.
Off the local beaches or harbour wall, you will be fishing for trivially, squid or flathead. Further out maybe the occasional salmon. Two popular beaches to drop in a lure are the Marengo Surf Beach and the Barham River mouth.
Snag yourself a ride on a fishing boat, and the family will thank you with full bellies. There's some good fishing in the deeper sections of Apollo Bay, but the serious fisherman might tell you to head to the richer waters of Blanket Bay, or out a little further into Bass Straight. There you will be fighting for larger salmon, shark, pike and barracoutta. Don't have access to a boat? That's ok, take a fishing charter from Apollo Bay!

Maits Rest is a relatively short, circuit walk virtually beside the Great Ocean Road about 15 minutes west of Apollo Bay.
It is a great introduction to a true rainforest gully and has been protected since the early 1900s to give an idea of what the pre-European Otways were once like.
It is home to a couple of spectacular trees, including some towering Mountain Ash and a massive Myrtle Beech tree estimated to be at least 300 years old.
It also includes plants that are remnants of the forests that dominated this area 100 million years ago when it was part of Gondwanaland.

At the remarkable Californian Redwoods, let your imagination come to life along this enchanting walk, where fairytales seem to come alive!
This remarkable stand of the world's tallest tree species have thrived in Otway soil, far from their native California. Towering on the sheltered river flat at the Aire Valley Plantation, these Sequoia Sempervirens Trees were originally planted in 1936 by Victorian foresters for experimental purposes.
While still in their youthful growth phase, the Otway Redwoods may one day claim the title of tallest trees in the world. A walk for the first time between the massive trunks flanking the river creates a special feeling of awe and reverence - not to be missed.

Triplet Falls is one of the iconic visitor sites in the Great Otway National Park.
Nestled amongst the ancient forests of Mountain Ash and Myrtle Beech with large sections of expanded metal boardwalks, you will discover three distinct and impressive cascades flowing through shady rainforests and glades of mossy tree ferns.
The walk is quite close to the Otway Fly Treetop Adventures located on Phillips Track near Beech Forest. The walk begins with some sections of steep steps so while it's not long, it is not suited to people with limited mobility.
There are some very large Mountain Ash trees along the track which are estimated to be around 200 years old. Continuing on the loop back to the carpark, you come to the site of Knott's #1 Mill which operated for more than 20 years from 1909. The remains of a steam boiler overgrown by ferns is now the only evidence of one of the largest timber mills that operated in the West Otways region.

Made with local fresh scallops, the all important gravy is a light cream (not to buttery) with a hint of curry that complements rather than over powers the more delicate flavours.

At a time when escapism and space are top of the travel agenda, Apollo Bay offers the relaxed coastal vibe needed to renew the spirit. Deservingly known as paradise by the sea, Apollo Bay is midway along the majestic Great Ocean Road nestled at the base of the stunning Otway Ranges.
Once a quiet fishing village, Apollo Bay is now Victoria’s favourite seaside destination. So what’s the appeal and why does the town hold such a special place in the hearts of many?
The ‘Bay’ as it’s known by the locals, offers beachside serenity. The township maintains an authentic coastal hamlet feel, the locals are friendly and there’s abundant natural beauty to find or lose yourself in.
A wander around the town is the perfect way to find your pace. Located on the picturesque Great Ocean Road, discover beautiful beaches and hidden coves. Seclusion is easy to find.
When summer shines, Apollo Bay's vibrant cafe strip hums with activity. Enjoy great coffee, abundant seafood, locally distilled gin or a freshly brewed beer and woodfired pizza, while taking in picturesque coastal views.
Likewise, the winter months present something special. The rugged Southern Ocean serves up magnificent swells, whales migrate along the coastline and local waterfalls thunder with raw power. Apollo Bay is flanked by the coastal villages of Skenes Creek and Marengo, which offer ocean vistas from every holiday abode. An open fire and a local red wine provide the perfect excuse for a cosy night in.
Elevated 500m above the ‘Bay’ is Marriners Lookout. You can drive up for a short stroll, or walk from the beach. On a clear day, you’ll see the shadow of local shipwrecks that were captured by the Southern Ocean alongside breathtaking panoramic views.
Head to the harbour and look out for stingrays, curious seals and the occasional dolphin, together with the harbour’s resident geese, while enjoying freshly caught fish and chips.
Apollo Bay’s Southern Rock Lobster and annual Seafood Festival make the town one of Victoria’s premier seafood destinations. The harbour is home to a thriving local fishing industry providing access to ‘fresh off the boat’ seafood or if fishing is your thing, why cast for your own big catch.
The hardest thing to decide is what to do on your staycation!
Take a drive along the Great Ocean Road to the nearby towns of Forrest, Lorne and Port Campbell and experience coast to country.
Put on your walking shoes and head off on the Great Ocean Walk, offering 100km of meandering trails from Apollo Bay to the Twelve Apostles.
Experience a guided wander through the magical Otways bushland at the recently opened 'Wildlife Wonders'.
Visit Cape Otway Lightstation, the oldest lighthouse on mainland Australia.
Experience nature on world-class mountain bike trails, a treetop walk in the rainforest, death-defying high ropes.
Eat your way around nature’s food bowl. the ‘Otway Harvest Trail’.
So why is Apollo Bay such a special place, you’ll have to find out for yourself - www.visitapollobay.com.
