At Castle Cove, the Great Ocean Road reaches the coast for the first time since Mounts Bay. From the roadside car park 30 m above the beach, you can view the surf and the large rip that dominates the spot.
The two beaches face south-west and receive waves averaging over 1.5 m. These interact with the sand and reef to produce one massive rip straight out from below the car park and a second rip to the east, that runs out past the east beach. The main beach consists of 300 m of sand below the steep, vegetated bluffs, while the east beach is a narrow strip of sand backed by the bluffs and fronted by patchy rocks and reef.
