Bells Beach
Encyclopedia : B : BE : BEL : Bells Beach
Bells Beach is an internationally famous surf beach in Victoria, Australia, located 71 km south-west of Melbourne, on the Great Ocean Road near the towns of Torquay and Jan Juc.
The final scene of the film Point Break was set and supposedly filmed at Bells Beach, but the actual beach is a straight stretch, whereas the beach in the film is a cove with pine trees atop a hill.
Nearby beaches include 'Southside', 'Centreside', 'Rincon', 'Winki Pop', 'Lowers' and 'Lower Lowers'. Although Bells is known internationally as one of the best breaks in Victoria, 'Winki Pop' often works better under more diverse conditions then the other nearby breaks.
