Gibson Steps

The Gibson Steps lead down a limestone cliff face to a beach where two offshore rock stacks, named Gog and Magog, rise from the Southern Ocean.

The steps were initially carved into the cliff by Hugh Gibson, who managed a grazing license in the area during the early settlement period of Victoria.

The site connects to the Eastern Maar and Wadawurrung peoples' territories, featuring prominently in their traditional connections to the Victorian coastline.

Visitors can access the beach using 86 steps, but should check tide conditions and safety notices before descending to ensure safe passage.

The location marks the first designated viewing point along the Great Ocean Road, positioned just minutes from the Twelve Apostles formation.
