My wife and I visited this place during our recent holiday where we stayed at The Great Ocean Road Resort in Anglesea for 2 nights before moving to the RACV Resort in Torquay for another 2 nights.
We had visited this place last year and enjoyed it so much that we decided to visit again.
The views here are spectacular and we went hiking for a few kilometers along the beach and hiking tracks.

Coming to this place for years and even recently I just drove to the carpark, let the windows done and had a catnap in the car.
Follow the signs to the Park and check out the interpretation boards to work out where you'd like to go.
Only 10 minutes from Anglesea and 20 from Torquay, it's one of the beaches in the area that doesn't get overwhelmed by tourists.
The views up and down the coast are stunning and the rock formations down on the beach very special.
Bells Beach is not far away if you're a surfing junkie.
The park features spectacular scenery with wide sandy beaches, crumbling limestone and sandstone cliffs, rocky platforms and copious small rocky reefs. The coastline is exposed to intense wave action from the southern ocean, a major contributor to the shaping of this rugged coastline.
Visitors exploring the marine environment within this park may enjoy exploring the limestone reefs with abundant rockpools filled with marine life. The subtidal waters are recognised as supporting a wide range of fish and algae species as well as seals, dolphins, brilliantly coloured sponge gardens and extensive rhodolith beds. Offshore, and often difficult to access due to tides and swell, Ingoldsby Reef is a particularly popular destination for divers to explore and search for such creatures.
Not wheelchair friendly. Shops are at least 10 minutes away.

Located on the beautiful stretch of the Great ocean road , Point Addis is a beautiful place for someone wanting to see the iconic Bells beach in Victoria, home of the Rip Curl Pro on the World Surfing Tour.

Point Addis Marine National Park is located approximately five kilometres southwest of Bells Beach and before the town of Anglesea.
The park offers spectacular scenery from the sandstone cliffs as well as sandy beaches and numerous rocky reefs from below.
There are a variety of walking tracks within the park, with the Point Addis boardwalk ending up overlooking the surrounding sea and cliffs from above.

My wife and I visited this place during our recent holiday in Torquay where we stayed for two nights.
We parked our car at Bells Beach, walked around that beach and the surrounding area; and then walked to this place along the established walking track that had very scenic views along the way.
When we got here, we walked along the beach to enjoy the views.

I doubt that many are aware of Point Addis as it is always quiet but it provides some of the best views along the coast.There are a number of lookouts and viewing points and you get great views to the east and west.

Another great lookout and beach area on the Great Ocean rd. Not too far from Bells Beach. Not much surf or waves the day we visited. Nice and calm.

Staying in the area at the moment so decided to go have a look at the fantastic coastline from Point Addis which is not far from the famous Bells Beach.
Nice drive out to the point car park then easy walk on the boardwalk to the viewing decks.
Great views from there either way of this lovely rugged and maybe dangerous coastline.
Interesting to see the rock formations where the ocean has pounded for centuries.
We walked down to the lovely sandy Red Rock Beach, not a soul in sight, so peacefull, great to just stay for a while and drink it all in.
Well worth a visit, breathe the great ocean air, do the lungs good .
