The water is what draws so many people to Lorne each year with its year-round swimming on patrolled beaches, surfing, beach fishing and lazy sunny days.

Go diving offshore, do some deep sea fishing on one of the fishing charters and you will even be treated to seeing a variety of marine animals along the way such as sea lions, penguins, dolphins and more if you are lucky. Lorne is somewhere where you can base yourself to explore the Otway Ranges with its tree-top walks, fern gullies and cascading waterfalls. Take a guided walk through the rainforest, see an abundance of flora and fauna and discover an ancient rainforest bound in natural beauty.
Along the coastline, you will find plenty of coastal walks, rugged coastline and rock formations to view or perhaps a wander through town where you will find ice creameries, restaurants, boutiques, retail stores, cafes and bars that might take your fancy. There are the neighbouring wineries to visit where you can sample some mouth watering wines, do a food and wine tour if you cannot get enough of the beautiful local produce and delights of the region or join one of the many other tours to take in the main tourist attractions of Lorne. Walk to the lookout for some stunning views of the ocean, visit nearby Torquay and Bells Beach for the day or base your holiday around one of the annual festivals and events that are held in Lorne. From Easter Festivals, markets, shows and more you can really plan the perfect trip away.
