Port Campbell is a small coastal town that attracts beach goers from far and wide, especially on a beautiful sunny day. Take a walk around town, fish from the jetty, swim at the beach, walk out to the point, surf the break or enjoy a meal at one of the great eateries. You can't help but slow down and relax in our lovely village.

The Port Campbell Discovery Walk is a 4.4km return walk from Port Campbell Bay to Two Mile Bay along the coast through Port Campbell National Park. There are beautiful views of the bay and along the coast. A must if you are staying in Port Campbell. *A tip for those with prams/wheelchairs, start at the Two Mile Bay end to avoid the stairs.

Visit dawn and dusk to see kangaroos, catch a fish or enjoy a walk along the boardwalk.

Winter brings Southern Right Whales along the coast past Port Campbell and we are lucky enough to have some great vantage points to spot these beauties! We photographed this inquisitive whale right in Port Campbell Bay, swimming right up to the jetty!! Be sure to bring your binoculars if you are travelling here during whale season June through to October. For more information visit the Port Campbell Visitor Information Centre.

Loch Ard Gorge is a short drive west of the 12 Apostles and has a number of beautiful walks and photo opportunities! 

Gibson Steps is a great place to see two of the Apostles from the beach. 

London Bridge is beautiful at sunset! A great place to see the Little Penguins at dusk!

A short 700m return walk, suitable for people of limited mobility that takes you to a viewing platform overlooking The Gotto and rugged coastline. You can then follow a ramp and stairway down into the Grotto formation for a unique perspective of the coast.

The Bay of Islands is an amazing view point with beach access. 

Bay of Martyrs is a one of the best spots to watch the sun go down after a long day exploring.

Also a great place to take your dog for a walk. Dogs are permitted on the walking trail and beaches between Bay of Martyrs car park and Peterborough but they are not permitted on Bay of Martyrs beach which is still home to nesting pairs of the critically endangered Hooded Plover.
