The morning wind eases and the breakers at Ocean Grove roll in steady, waist-deep and forgiving — the kind of surf that dares you to try. You change in a beachside trailer, pull on a full-length wetsuit, and the ocean seems to breathe around the line of soft foam boards waiting on the sand.

History
Ocean Grove developed in the late 19th century as a coastal holiday town; the Bellarine Peninsula’s coastal plains reflect both Aboriginal and early colonial use of the shoreline.
Conservation
Use reef‑safe sunscreen, respect flagged swimming areas, and stick to access paths to minimize dune erosion and disturbance to shorebirds.
Reserve your spot on the Learn to Surf at Ocean Grove on the Bellarine Peninsula today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Arrive Early to Get Fitted
Plan to arrive 15–20 minutes early so instructors can size wetsuits and boards and run a safety briefing before entering the water.
Sun Protection Still Matters
Even on cool days, UV reflects off the water—use reef‑safe sunscreen and a quick‑dry hat for the walk to the trailer.
Bring a Refillable Water Bottle
Two hours of activity in salt air is dehydrating; sip regularly between sets and after the lesson.
Know Health Restrictions
Not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with spinal or serious heart conditions—check health advisories before booking.
Swimwear (worn under wetsuit)
Wear a swimsuit or boardshorts under the wetsuit for comfort and quick changing.
