A lush green lawn makes the bay more special for picnic goers. Victoria Bay offers large waves for surfers for a long ride in the waters.

If you are a beginner, the small waves will also do wonders for you. This bay receives most tourists from May to September, making it more crowded and less peaceful. Surfers should be aware of the inside and outside sections of the point break.You can rent your surfboards and wetsuits and buy wax from the adjacent Vic Bay Surf Lodge. Get the best view of the entire bay by walking up the wooden stairs and following the beachfront path. You will see a small caravan park, a camping terrain, and an endless sky. Some lifeguards carefully watch swimmers, surfers, and fisher boats for safety purposes. If any help is required for surfing, a local team named Vic Bay Locals can help you through the surfing journey. The bay is quite strict on not allowing any pets. Tourists can also spot a few beachfront cottages and restaurants with authentic local food and drinks. Read More
