Two Mile Bay is a very open, 3 km long bay that extends west of Port Campbell. Unlike the adjacent coast, the bluffs here are protected by an ancient raised platform, capped by the remnants of a beach, dune and swamp. The vegetated, 60 m high bluffs show what the entire coast would have looked like before the sea level rose (about 6 000 years ago) and reactivated the cliffs.
There is a road out to the bluffs with a car park, and a track down to Two Mile Bay Beach. Shelly Beach lies immediately to the east. The beaches face south and, while exposed to high waves, are partially protected by reefs extending 200 to 300 m offshore. Shelly Beach is 300 m long and fronted by a continuous calcarenite platform that is exposed at low tide, with reefs further offshore.
The main Two Mile Bay Beach is 100 m long and backed initially by low calcarenite spurs, then by bluffs rising to 60 m. It has direct access to the sea with usually a heavy shorebreak, but extensive reefs off the beach.
