Sightseeing

Winkpop is the name of the right hand reef break that you will see as you arrive in the Bells Beach Surfing Reserve. Park your car and walk down to the lookout for the best vantage point of both fantastic waves. Keep your eyes open for the 'locals', as we often see native echidna's in the scrubby vegetation. Out at sea you might catch a glimpse of whales migrating past our coast during winter.
