Aerial view of land and ocean, Victoria, Australia July 14, 2026

Victoria, a southeastern state of Australia, extends along more than 1,800 kilometres of coastline shaped by the Southern Ocean. From above, its beaches appear as sweeping bands of pale sand edged by turquoise waters and rugged cliffs. This dynamic interaction of land and sea defines much of the region"s appeal. The famous Great Ocean Road traces roughly 240 kilometres of this shoreline, winding past popular surf spots, forested headlands and seaside towns.
