Surf Coast Walk

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This section of the Surf Coast Walk connects Jan Juc Beach to Bells Beach along the clifftops, following the historic Bells Track used by early surfers. The trail is well-formed with a mix of compacted gravel and dirt, with some gentle hills and exposed sections along the coastline. The route runs through low coastal vegetation with continuous ocean views, passing lookouts over the surf breaks along this stretch.

This lookout sits above Little Rock, a smaller surf break just south of Bells Beach. From here, you get a clear view along the cliffs and down onto the break, with waves wrapping into the narrower section of coastline below. The viewpoint is set along the clifftop track, with open sightlines along the Surf Coast and little separation from the edge.
