Day walks
Walkers of almost any ability can step on and step off sections of the 104-kilometre Great Ocean Walk trail. Complete a circuit walk for something new to see at every stage or return along the same path for a different perspective. Shuttle services are available for pick up and drop off between your parked car or accommodation, and key points along the trail. Day walks are up to 6 hours in length, return walks or car shuffle, accessible from the parks' main visitor nodes. The time, distance and terrain make these walks more challenging.
Follow the path along low cliff tops overlooking the ocean, exposed hilltops from Marengo beaches to picturesque and sheltered forest at Shelly Beach.
