Port Campbell Bay presents a gently sloping family friendly profile sheltered from the bulk of Southern Ocean swell. Waters inside its iconic pier are generally suitable for swimming and wading and are patrolled in season.
Summer sees families and couples making the most of the tiered lawn area picnicking under the shade of Norfolk pines. The temptation of an ice cream or a coffee is easily fulfilled with a short stroll across the road and into Lord Street.
Although it is the safest regional option all care should be taken close to the water.
The beach is patrolled on Summer weekends and public holidays.
