Bells Beach - Point Addis Beach Lookout

Point Addis Beach Lookout is one of the Surf Coast's most spectacular clifftop viewpoints, offering sweeping panoramas of rugged sandstone cliffs, pristine beaches and the Southern Ocean. Located within the Point Addis Marine National Park between Anglesea and Bells Beach, the lookout is reached via a short boardwalk from the car park, making it an easy stop along the Great Ocean Road.

From the viewing platform you can enjoy uninterrupted views along the coastline towards Bells Beach, Anglesea and, on a clear day, as far as Point Lonsdale and Lorne. The colourful orange and cream sandstone cliffs, coastal heathland and rolling surf make this one of the finest scenic viewpoints in Victoria. The remote setting also provides excellent opportunities to watch seabirds, dolphins and migrating Southern Right Whales during winter and spring.

A boardwalk links the lookout with walking tracks through coastal heath and connects with sections of the Surf Coast Walk. More adventurous visitors can continue to Addiscot Beach or explore longer walks towards Southside Beach and Bells Beach. Interpretive signs explain the significance of the area to the Wadawurrung Traditional Owners and the rich marine environment protected within the national park.

Point Addis is particularly popular at sunrise and sunset, when the changing light brings out the vibrant colours of the cliffs and ocean. Although the lookout is easily accessible, visitors should remain behind safety barriers and take care near cliff edges, especially during windy conditions.

Facilities include a large free sealed car park, viewing platforms, public toilets, information signs, beach access via stairs, Surf Coast Walk, picnic tables and seasonal whale watching. There is no drinking water available.
