The perfect coastal escape along the Great Ocean Road
As a stop along the Great Ocean Road, Lorne is a popular spot for a coastal getaway in its own right. This Victorian town is surrounded by natural beauty on all sides, from the stunning coasts of the Southern Ocean to the waterfalls and forests dotting the area farther inland. Spend your time surfing at Lorne Beach or hit the shops and cafes at Mountjoy Parade, and you'll feel like a Lorne local in no time. Choose your holiday getaway from among Lorne vacation rentals that are within walking distance to the town's most famous beaches, and don't forget your surfboard.
Great Ocean Road's top family-friendly spot
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.
A thriving arts scene just off the Great Ocean Road
Lorne boasts a thriving arts community and features cultural institutions like QDOS ARTS. Here you'll find a gallery and sculpture park dedicated to local and international artists, and is free to visit. Other cultural hotspots include Lorne Theatre, showing both indie and blockbuster films, as well as Edge Gallery, highlighting local photography. As for natural beauty, you don't need to look far. Head to Teddy's Lookout for panoramic views overlooking the St. George River and farther along the coast. Nearby, you'll get to enjoy the rugged allure of Angahook Lorne State Park and Erskine Falls.
Achieve your road trip goals all year long
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.
Sandy beaches, sunny surf spots and sprawling sights
While Lorne's surf-friendly coast is its biggest attraction, there are also plenty of bushwalks around town, with some starting from the centrally located Visitor Centre. Along the south side of Lorne Beach, take the Doug Stirling Walk, which stretches from the pier. This bit of sea features legendary shipwrecks, now marked with commemorative plaques. The north part of Lorne offers photo opportunities of the town's swing bridge, and if you visit during low tide, enjoy a walk along the sand. Farther inland, you'll find Erskine Falls, which features multiple lookout points perfect for taking in the views at sunset.
