Surfing paradise and must-see guide in the morning light of Lorne

If you arrive in Lorne after 7am, you may be shocked by the vitality here - the beach has already gathered surfers and morning swimmers, the sun shines on the sea, the waves roll, and the whole town wakes up in the morning light. Whether you want to join them or explore more hidden ways to play, this guide will help you plan your day perfectly! 🌅 Lorne in the morning: the lively scene of surfing and morning swimming - Why is the early morning the most popular? - The sea breeze is calmer and the waves are stable, suitable for surfing novices or veterans. - The water temperature is comfortable (about 18-22°C in the early morning of summer), and the morning swimmers are mostly concentrated in Lorne Main Beach. - There are plenty of parking spaces (it is hard to find a place after 9 o'clock in the peak season!). - Tips to join them: - Rent a surfboard: Shops by the beach (such as Lorne Surf Shop) open around 7:30. - Safety first: pay attention to the red flag warning area, and beginners are advised to move within the sight of lifeguards. 🌊 Other experiences not to be missed 1. Beaches and water activities - Lorne Pier: Take a walk or go fishing, and you can often see dolphins in the early morning! - Family-friendly area: Shallow water is suitable for children to play in the sand and waves. 2. Rainforest adventure - Erskine Falls (15 minutes by car): Take advantage of the cool morning to walk to the bottom of the waterfall. - Teddy’s Lookout: Drive for 5 minutes and overlook the Great Ocean Road. 3. Coffee and breakfast - The Bottle of Milk: Classic burger + iced coffee after surfing. - Lorne Beach Pavilion: Breakfast with sea view, Acai Bowl is recommended. ⚠️ Notes - Sunscreen: Even in the morning, Australia’s ultraviolet rays are very strong. - Tides: Check the tide time before departure (such as WillyWeather). - Environmental protection: Take away the garbage and protect this paradise for morning swimmers. 🚗 Afternoon itinerary suggestions If you have enough time, you can continue to Apollo Bay or the Twelve Apostles. The morning in Lorne is just the beginning of the Great Ocean Road adventure! "Here, getting up early is not a sacrifice, but a reward." 🌊 Summary Lorne is the perfect stop for both leisure and adventure on the Great Ocean Road, suitable for tourists who like nature, food and a slow pace. Plan your itinerary in advance and pay attention to seasonal differences to better enjoy the charm of this seaside town! #summervacay#travel #thingstodo #naturalwonders #couplestrip #beachlife #familytravel #myitinerary #localfood
