I’ve always had a soft spot for Anglesea. This little town on the Surf Coast is often overshadowed by its big brothers to the east and west, but where Torquay and Lorne are busy and bustling in summer, Anglesea is much more relaxed. If you’re like me and prefer a slower pace to your holidays, here’s where you’ll find it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slower doesn’t mean boring, though: in fact, every time I visit, I’m surprised at just how many things there are to do in Anglesea for such a small town. For outdoorsy types, the options feel endless: surfing, swimming, paddleboarding, canoeing, hiking, biking, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even when it’s not beach weather, though, you’re not going to be left sitting around in your hotel room: Anglesea on a rainy day can be just as rewarding. From chocolate tasting to impromptu craft beer tours, shopping to exploring a famous lighthouse, you definitely don’t need to go far to find a good time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And all of that before you take in Anglesea’s most famous attraction: a golf course where the kangaroos easily outnumber the players!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve visited throughout the year, from the height of summer to the middle of winter, and most recently on a couple of gorgeous autumnal days. It’s great at almost any time of year, and visiting during shoulder season means cheaper hotel prices and no crowds. Most places stay open all year round, albeit sometimes with reduced hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
