Gibson Steps

A dramatic descent down a cliff face via steep steps carved into the limestone to reach a wild beach at the base of 70-metre cliffs along the Great Ocean Road. From the beach you can look up at towering rock stacks and the immense scale of the eroding coastline. This is the only way to access the beach at the base of the Twelve Apostles cliffs. Timing with low tide is essential as the beach disappears at high water.

Only accessible at low tide. Check tide times before visiting. Rogue waves are extremely dangerous here. Never swim at this beach. The steps are steep and can be slippery.
