Nestled on the coast between the Otway Ranges and the Southern Ocean, Apollo Bay has an idyllic outlook and is a host to many notable seasonal events and activities. Fishing and tourism predominate as the main industries in the town with good services and art and craft shops. Access to the temperate rainforest areas of the Otways and the beaches give the best of both worlds here.
The Apollo Bay Music Festival (March) brings large numbers of people into the area.
July 10th, 1932, Apollo Bay was the scene of one of the greatest shipping disasters witnessed. The coastal steamer, Casino, with a number of locals on board, tried to berth at the town’s jetty. It was hit by freak waves and sank, killing 10 men. This occurred in front of the locals gathered on the jetty, who did all they could to save the people on the boat. The anchor from the Casino is located outside the post office.
