Surf Coast Walks: Walks

Walking programs & ‘custom made’ walk packages

Several walking itineraries have been prepared for you on the Surf Coast Walk. We aim to offer you as much choice as possible, as we understand each walker has different preferences and time constraints.

Choose a half or full day walk or multi day walk from the following table.

You can combine two connecting half day walks for a day walk.

If doing a multi-day walk, choose from the following table which indicates a journey from east to west along the Surf Coast. You could start at Torquay, Anglesea, Aireys Inlet or Lorne. Generally we walk from east to west.
