What is the best time to visit Torquay?

The best times to visit Torquay are in spring and February, as temperatures start to warm. It can get windy around Torquay, so bring warm weather gear, even in summer. Torquay is the perfect base to stock up on groceries, especially before trips along the Great Ocean Road. Prices tend to get higher the further you go along the route. Given Torquay’s large permanent population, the township is well serviced, and you can visit at any time of year. The Bells Beach surf championship takes place around Easter and brings in big crowds, so it’s best to reserve ahead then and in the summer months. Torquay is a convenient gateway to Geelong, the Great Ocean Road, and the Bellarine Peninsula, an area rich in wineries and old-fashioned seaside villages.
