The Grotto
It is a unique rock formation that combines a cave, a sinkhole, and an archway. It is located in Port Campbell National Park on the Great Ocean Road. You can take a short walk or see it from the viewing platform.
This incredible natural rock formation was formed over hundreds of years as crashing waves and high winds eroded the sandstone and limestone cliffs, creating a cave, sinkhole and natural archway.
The Walk -700 metres - 30 Minutes - Easy
This walk starts from The Grotto carpark, and you wander along the flat gravel and boardwalk path for several metres.
When you reach the first lookout, you can see the stunning coastline and down into the Grotto. To get to the base, continue down the path and take the timber stairs to the bottom. There are several lookouts and exciting vantage points along the way.
You can look through the archway to the ocean at sea level and admire the rock pools under the arch.
Notes:
Low tide is the best time to visit the Grotto, as you can

No dogs are allowed as it is a National Park.
