Catching waves in Paradise

13th Beach, Victoria, Australia Not far from the start of the infamous Great Ocean road, 13th Beach provides the perfect taster of what is yet to come. A fantastic warm-up to one of the world's most beautiful and scenic drives, this Beach offers everything - a sufers paradise, a sunbathers dream on its golden sands and the calmness of the sounds of the waves crashing onto the sunlit shores. Even on the cloudiest of days, I am in awe of the encapsulating run of grey skies and moving clouds. With ocean as far as the eye can see and land curving around the endless miles of beach, the world just falls away at your feet and it is easy to imagine you are the only person for a considerable distance. The perfect place to kick back and relax with a great book and a picnic - don't forget your swimmers! #freehotelstay
