Logans Beach forms the geological boundary of the limestone coast of Port Campbell and the calcarenite and basalt coast to the west. It begins as the limestone bluffs, that have dominated the coast since the Gellibrand River, are replaced by Holocene dunes capping older Pleistocene dune calcarenite. The Hopkins River Road runs a few hundred metres behind the beach, with access to the beach by way of two car parks. One of these is on the banks of the river, the other is in the dunes a few hundred metres east of the river mouth. The beach is 4.3 km long, faces south-west and runs from the end of the 20 m high limestone cliffs to the mouth of the Hopkins River. There are 10 m high calcarenite bluffs at the river mouth, called Point Ritchie. The beach receives waves averaging 1.5 m, which produce a rip dominated surf. Strong, persistent rips are spaced every 300 m, often with detached bars in between. In addition, patchy calcarenite reef occurs in the surf, particularly off the river mouth. This further intensifies some of the rips. read more
