Torquay is a thriving coastal town located 21-kilometres south of Geelong. The town is famous for its surf beaches, particularly Bells Beach, and the Great Ocean Road (which starts at Torquay). Since 1962, the annual Rip Curl Pro surfing competition has been held at iconic Bells Beach. Torquay is popular with tourists and schoolies, who flock to the beaches over summer. Torquay is also the spiritual home of iconic surf wear brands, Rip Curl and Quiksilver. Given Torquay’s rich surfing heritage, it’s no surprise that the local economy is driven by retail, tourism and recreation. Residents either work in these sectors, or in places like Geelong and Melbourne.
