Australia's most famous surf break and spiritual home of Australian surfing. Bells Beach hosts the Rip Curl Pro, the world's longest-running professional surf event since 1961. The powerful right-hand point breaks over reef, offering long walls and occasional barrels. The Easter event is a cornerstone of professional surfing. Winkipop, the adjacent break, offers a faster, hollower alternative.
