Apollo Bay
Apollo Bay is a picturesque seaside resort town located on the eastern side of Cape Otway and along
the Great Ocean Road. The town's roots lie in fishing and dairying with tourism now becoming a primary source of its income. Set along a beautiful stretch of coastline and backed by majestic rolling hills with white sandy beaches in the foreground, its accessibility from Melbourne has made Apollo Bay an increasingly popular holiday destination. Things to See and Do
Places of interest in Apollo Bay include Mariners Lookout which provides spectacular views of the area, the Old Cable Station Museum and the Saturday community market along the main strip. There are plenty of activities for visitors to indulge in ranging from horse-riding along the beach, tandem hang-gliding or paragliding to mountain-bike riding through the Otways. Various nature, scenic and fishing tours are also available. The intimate Apollo Bay Music Festival attracts thousands of people and is held in late April. It features a combination of blues, jazz, classical, rock and folk music as well as street performers and buskers.
