Djarrk, the original name for Bells Beach by the Wadawurrung traditional owners, is a place of homecoming. Many talk of the special aura and spiritual feeling about this ancient place that has been visited for thousands of years by the Wadawurrung people.

Everyone who visits this special land is touched by its unique beauty and the presence of the landscape, with its perfect point break and natural majestic ampitheatre. Being at Bells is a chance to reflect and be rejuvenated by the powerful force washing over us.

“As surfers, the only thing we want to leave behind on the beach are our footprints”.
