Bells Beach is a coastal locality of Victoria, Australia in Surf Coast Shire and a renowned surf beach, located 100 km south-west of Melbourne, on the Great Ocean Road near the towns of Torquay and Jan Juc. It is named after John Cavert Bell of the family that first took up a pastoral run there in the 1840s. The beach and coastal reserve are listed on the Victorian Heritage Register. Just one point down from the famous Victorian point break of Bells Beach is its little brother, Winkipop. Like Bells, it is a right hand point break that is world class on a good day. Try and surf here early during the week, weekends get packed. On smaller swells you can paddle straight out, but if it is larger it is safer to paddle in off the beach. The spot is just outside the small town of Jan Juc. Head to the Bells Beach surfing reserve car park. As you look over the cliff top you will see Bells point to your right and Winkipop to your left. Bells Beach is the home of the world's longest-running surfing competition the Rip Curl Pro Surf & Music Festival. The event was formerly known as the Bells Beach Surf Classic. The competition was first held in January 1961 and then at Easter every year since although occasionally, when conditions at Bells aren't suitable, the competition has been transferred to other breaks such as Johanna& Woolamai. Winkipop and Bells Beach is a short drive south of Torquay. To get to Torquay, take the M1 motorway south west from Melbourne. About an hours drive from Melbourne Airport and 15 minutes from Geelong. Train and coach approximately 1 and 1/2 hours.
