Logans Beach
One of the region's best-known whale-watching areas in winter, with open views across the Southern Ocean.
Six good directions from town
Tower Hill
A volcanic reserve close to town, valued for wildlife, crater scenery and a very different landscape texture.
Port Fairy
A nearby harbour town with historic cottages, river walks, beaches and a gentler village pace.
Stingray Bay
Protected water and estuary edges near the Merri River mouth, good for slower coastal wandering.
Thunder Point
Boardwalks, rock shelves and evening light make this a strong local coastal viewpoint.
Great Ocean Road
Head east for cliffs, limestone stacks and the famous road's western approaches.
