All About Jan Juc
Located on Victoria’s rocky southern coastline, the beachside town of Jan Juc lies between Torquay and Bells Beach. Though it’s often used as a stop for those travelling the Great Ocean Road, Jan Juc is also a great place for a longer holiday, with smaller crowds than many surrounding beaches, and a picturesque shoreline with soaring limestone cliffs. The town was named after a baleen whale fossil which was found by a surfer in the 1990s.
Jan Juc’s exposed surf and several rips means it is ideally suited to be experienced by swimmers and surfers, though the beach is patrolled in busy periods. Jan Juc is also just a seven minute drive from renowned Bells Beach, which has been hosting high profile surfing competitions since 1961 and attracts professional surfers from around the world. As well as spending time at the beach, you can also visit nearby wineries, relax in the area’s many restaurants and cafes, or stroll a section of the Surf Coast Walk, a 44-kilometre trail that stretches all the way from nearby Point Impossible to Fairhaven.
Top things to do in Jan Juc
Surf Coast Walk
The Surf Coast Walk is an impressive, 44-kilometre path that stretches from Torquay to Aireys Inlet, through traditional Wadawurrung Aboriginal country.

There are also interactive maps along the way for extra guidance.
Australian National Surfing Museum
This section of the Victorian coast is well known for its world-class surfing, and you can learn more about Australia’s surfing history at this museum in nearby Torquay. Immerse yourself in the story of surfing in Australia, and see an impressive collection of boards, artefacts, and memorabilia, including trophies from the world’s longest running surf competition, held at nearby Bells Beach.

Inland from Jan Juc you’ll find the Surf Coast Wine Trail. As well as 11 wineries, most of which offer cellar door tastings, the hinterland is also abundant with stylish cafés, galleries, and boutiques.
