Port Campbell Discovery Walk
TEMPORARY CLOSURE – MAY 2025
Due to recent geological movement, a section of the Discovery Walk has temporarily been closed.
The closure is in place to ensure the safety of locals and visitors until further assessments are complete.
A temporary detour is in place to ensure access to the popular Discovery Walk remains.
The Port Campbell Discovery Walk can be accessed via the newly constructed Port Campbell Suspension Bridge, which spans Campbell’s Creek. The 2-metre-wide sealed path leading to the bridge is suitable for prams and wheelchairs, providing an inclusive experience up to a scenic viewing platform. From the platform, a 191-step staircase hugs the western headland, guiding visitors to the start of the walk. Alternatively, the trail can be accessed from the Port Campbell Lookout area, located 2 kilometres west of Port Campbell. However, due to the steps and steep gradients along the route, the Discovery Walk is not suitable for prams or wheelchairs. Additionally, access via steps near the mouth of Campbell’s Creek is currently closed.
Whether you’re a photographer chasing the perfect shot, a nature enthusiast eager to witness the region’s flora and fauna, or simply seeking a peaceful walk with exceptional coastal views, the Port Campbell Discovery Walk offers an unparalleled experience.
