A delightful little bay situated between George and Wilderness, Victoria Bay is a protected cove enclosed by cliffs. It's a favourite destination mainly for surfers and for visitors looking for a quiet time close to the sea. The gentle sloping beach makes swimming safe, but the area is best known as a surfer's haven with big waves forming far out for a long ride. A handful of holiday cottages on the water's edge mean you can go from sleeping to surfing in a few short steps, but booking in advance, especially over school holidays, is a must. Vic Bay, as it's known, is a short drive from George where you can stock up on supplies as facilities in the little bay are limited.
