Steep wooden stairs that descend dramatic sandstone cliffs to the iconic Bells Beach surf outlook — shoot sweeping coastal panoramas, textured cliffs, breaking waves and surfers below. Best at sunrise or late afternoon for warm side light and long shadows; stormy days and swell produce dramatic surf. Access via the Bells Beach carpark on the Great Ocean Road; short walk to the stairhead. Stairs can be wet and slippery — no entry fee. Weekdays and early mornings are least crowded. Note cultural:
