Visiting the 12 Apostles? You won’t believe what else is around the corner.
The famous 12 Apostles are one of the most recognised icons of the Great Ocean Road region, but if you’re planning on visiting Port Campbell and the 12 Apostles, make sure you don’t miss out on these other gems close by. They are well worth a visit in their own right (plus they will make for some epic Instagram selfies).

Here is a quick cheat sheet for other must sees when you visit the 12 Apostles:
Gibson Steps
Gibson Steps
Prepare to be dwarfed by the magnitude of the cliff-line and offshore stacks. The sheer scale of natural sculpting evident at this site is humbling.
The Grotto
The Grotto
The still clear water in the open cave casts reflections in contrast to the dynamic moving water of the ocean directly behind it.
London Bridge
London Bridge
London Bridge, pre 1990 was a double-spanning bridge connected to the mainland. The stack was created over hundreds of years, with the weaker layers toward the base being eroded away by wind and water to form the two bridges.
Loch Ard Gorge
Loch Ard Gorge
Loch Ard Gorge is unusual for this section of coast, in that its water is relatively calm, although its not for swimming, it makes for a great photo op.
Gibson Steps
Bay Of Islands
The pale limestone of this section of coast reflects a different quality of light and offers superior photographic opportunity in overcast conditions. Highly underrated!
