The final scene of the film
Point Break was set and supposedly filmed at Bells Beach, but the actual beach is a straight stretch, whereas the beach in the film is a cove with pine trees atop a hill.
Nearby beaches include 'Southside', 'Centreside', 'Rincon', 'Winki Pop', 'Lowers' and 'Lower Lowers'. Although Bells is known internationally as one of the best breaks in Victoria, 'Winki Pop' often works better under more diverse conditions then the other nearby breaks.
