Bells Beach event
The Bioglan Bells Beach Longboard Classic presented by Bonsoy brings the World Surf League Longboard Tour to Bells Beach Surfing Recreation Reserve in Victoria as the tour’s second stop. The event is free to attend, and the competition will be held at the reserve. With the second stop on the calendar, the event sits early in the tour schedule. Fans can get to the beach and plan ahead for parking.
Surfing schedule
Surfing action is scheduled from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on competition days when the event is called ON, which gives the contest a defined daily window. The day is shaped around when organizers make the call to run. That gives spectators a clear plan. Arrive early if you want to catch the start, and stay through the afternoon if you want to follow the day’s action. Because the event runs only when it is called ON, the daily flow depends on when the event is called to run. That makes the schedule part of the story, not just a line on a flyer. It tells fans when to be ready and when the action can begin. The range from early morning to late afternoon also makes the event easy to build a day around. People can come for part of the day’s action or settle in for the full stretch. The schedule is simple, direct and built for a beachside crowd that wants to follow the competition through the day’s calls.
Parking and access
Parking will require some planning. Onsite parking is limited, so attendees should expect to use the other options that are available nearby. Additional parking will be available at the Winkipop carpark and along Bells Beach Road, giving the crowd more than one place to leave a vehicle before heading to the reserve. The event also includes accessible parking, paths and toilets. The organizers have also issued a simple list of what to bring and what to leave behind. A hat, sunscreen, a drink bottle and a jacket are among the advised items. Dogs, drones, smoke and single-use plastics should stay at home. Come prepared and plan for parking.
