  • These coastal formations don't get the same attention as the 12 Apostles but are pretty spectacular too. Worth a stop. And perhaps, walk down to the boat launching spot. A great secluded beach

  • Nice easy walk to a couple of viewing platforms. Can get busy so better to get there early. Great for photography. Better in my opinion than the 12 Apostles. Do check out Boat Bay and Worm Bay too. Less crowded and different views.
  • Less crowded and probably as good as the 12 apostles. Quite a nice view from the look out place that a short walk from the carpark. Enjoyable view of these falling rock that may collapse over years !
  • Visited on 26 October 2022 This is our last stop of the Great Ocean Road Journey before returning to Melbourne City. The view is awesome and great! The scenery along the coast is fascinating and can always take an opportunity to unwind the window to enjoy the cold breeze!
  • Absolutely amazing! We loved this place more than the crowded 12 Apostels. Here you have many islands / Apostels, the rough cliffs and additionally a stunning contrast with the blue sea, white sand, green plants and red soil
  • spectacular views of sea stacks, generally a short easy walk from small car park. people seem to follow the route and spend a shortish time at each area. It's along time since I last saw these stacks, and they have changed, better get in now while they are still here.
