Point Addis Marine National Park
Rugged sandstone cliffs overlook the Point Addis Marine National Park that covers 4,600 hectares from the Victorian State limit at sea, along 10 kilometres of coastline between Anglesea and Jan Juc. This marine national park is representative of the central Victorian coastline and is exposed to the intense wave action that arrives on this coast largely from the south-west. The waves are a major part of this environment and shape the coastal landforms as well as the animals and plants that live in the area.
The Point Addis Marine National Park also includes the world famous Bells Beach, a beach noted for its waves and surfing. Bells Beach features as one site for international surf competitions including the annual Rip Curl Classic.
Offshore, there are a number of small rocky reefs including Ingoldsby Reef, a popular local diving destination.
Things to do
Surfing is a major activity within the Marine National Park and Bells Beach is home to international surfing competitions. Addiscott Beach is also popular for surfing.
Ingoldsby Reef is widely used as a popular location for diving.
