Lorne is known as a family-friendly destination on the Great Ocean Road, with something for every age. Foreshore Park offers an ocean-themed playground and BBQs so the rest of the family can kick back for a picnic while the little ones play. Nearby is Lorne's skate park, as well as the Sea Baths, which features an outdoor swimming pool with an AquaOrb (a transparent ball made for floating or running on top of the water) and a waterfront trampoline park. When you need a break from all the fun, duck into the wellness centre and spa.
Like the rest of the Great Ocean Road, Lorne is a great year-round destination, but the summer boasts the most ideal driving conditions and the best beach weather. You'll also find the biggest crowds, while spring and fall offer moderate temperatures and smaller crowds. If you plan on hiking or cycling, you might prefer the winter months. While generally grey and drizzly, winter isn't particularly cold, making it feasible to spend your time outdoors if you bundle up. As an added bonus, you can expect lower prices on Lorne vacation rentals from June through August.
