TORQUAY/Jan Juc

Torquay/Jan Juc are adjoining flourishing beachside resorts in Victoria, approx. 100 km South East of Melbourne, and 26 km South of Geelong. The town faces Bass Strait, and enjoys some fabulous beaches, including three well known surf beaches, Bells (famous for the international Rip Curl Bells Classic, held every Easter), and several great sandy swimming beaches. International surfing companies, Rip Curl and Quicksilver, were both founded in Torquay in the early 1970`s. It was inevitable that Torquay/Jan Juc would emerge as one of Victorias most popular coastal resorts. Standing at the eastern gateway to the Great Ocean Road, Torquay/Jan Juc are within an easy drive of the major population centres of Melbourne and Geelong, and introduce visitors to spectacular seafront drives west to the scenic gems of Victorias magnificent southern coastline, and the splendours of the Otway Ranges. Torquay/Jan Juc have a wide range of restaurants, cafes, shops, and banks and are also a haven for craft-lovers, and artists. Over the past 10 years, Torquay and Jan Juc have experienced a housing building boom, with the resident population expanding threefold, as large numbers of city dwellers are drawn to the beauty and relative tranquility of the area.
