At Cape Patton most visitors stop to take in the spectacular view west along the coast toward Apollo Bay. The most noticeable feature is the steep, vegetated slopes with a rock platform running along the base. The rocks dominate the coast for 3 km until the mouth of Carisbrook Creek. From here, near continuous platform beaches run along the back of the rock platforms past San Jose and Sugarloaf Hill. Then there is a gap before the final pocket of sand at White Crest. The Great Ocean Road parallels the back of the beaches and there is good vehicle access to all four beaches. All the beaches face south-east and receive waves averaging 1.5 m.
Carisbrook Creek Beach extends for 150 m from the boulder-strewn mouth of the creek. It is fronted by a continuous rock platform and is unsuitable for bathing.
Beach Length: 0.15km
