The Great Ocean Road delivers cliff-lined coastal panoramas, surf-sculpted rock stacks, and endless viewpoints between Torquay and Princetown. Best light hits at sunrise for soft surf glow and at late afternoon for warm tones; weekdays reduce crowds. Drive in daylight for safer pull-offs, then stop early for parking near major lookouts. No entry fees, but some viewpoints are coastal paths—check weather and tides.
