Apollo Bay Attractions

Apollo Bay (pop. 890) is a good base for excursions into the Cape Otway hills on roads of great scenic beauty (often unsurfaced and with many bends). The town's economy centers on the fishing industry (fish-freezing plant), and for anglers there is good sport in the sea and the mountain streams. There are excellent surfing beaches on the rugged coast, on which many ships have come to grief. There are fine views from Marriner's Lookout.
