Learn more about Marengo

Nestled along the Great Ocean Road, this coastal hamlet offers pristine beaches perfect for surfing and wildlife spotting at nearby Great Otway National Park. Visitors can explore the historic Marengo Reefs Marine Sanctuary where snorkelling reveals colourful fish and the protected reef ecosystem.

When I travelled in Australia I took a daytrip to The Great Ocean Road. It was an amazing experience. My only regret is that I only took a daytrip.

If I could do it all over again, I'd rent a car and drive it myself over a couple of days.
