All about Skenes Creek
The small coastal town of Skenes Creek is located in the Shire of Colac Otway in Victoria on the spectacular Great Ocean Road — one of the world’s most scenic routes and home to the famous Twelve Apostles. A 2.5-hour drive from Melbourne, Skenes Creek offers stunning ocean views, beautiful sunrises, and lush rainforest with a laid-back vibe. The Skenes Creek splits the township and is a popular fishing spot for King George whiting. There are wide, soft sand beaches with stellar surf breaks, drawing wave-riders and people who come to swim, play, and relax. Rocky outcrops frame the beach, perfect for nature lovers to explore secluded bays with crustaceans, sea anemones, and seashells.
A walk east from the main beach along Wild Dog Road ends with stunning views of Mariner’s Lookout. At the foothills of Cape Otway National Park, the town is an entryway to dense rainforest, rugged coastal cliff walks, and biking trails flanked by ferns and waterfalls. There’s no typical main street to stroll down for shops and cafes. However, a ten-minute drive east takes you to Apollo Bay, where you can find top-notch restaurants and boutique shopping, along with impeccable views.
What are the top things to do in Skenes Creek?
Erskine Falls
Erskine Falls is a popular waterfall plunging 30 meters into a lush fern gully within the Otway Ranges an hour’s drive from Skenes Creek.
