Top choice in Great Ocean Road
This is undoubtedly one of the finest coastal pubs in Victoria, if not Australia – the ocean views don't get much better. It has an unpretentious, local vibe and an all-regional craft-beer selection on tap, with brews from Forrest, Torquay and Aireys Inlet as well as one of its own.
There's pub food too, though it's on the pricey side (mains from $28).
