Twelve Apostles Marine National Park

The marine national park extends across 7,500 hectares along the southern coast, featuring limestone stacks emerging from the Southern Ocean waters.

The Victorian Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning established this protected marine area in November 2002 to preserve coastal ecosystems.

The coastline contains evidence of Indigenous Australian settlements and practices that span thousands of years before European arrival.

Visitors access the park through Port Campbell, which provides multiple viewing platforms, parking facilities, and information centers along the coast.

The marine environment supports extensive kelp forests and numerous fish species in the waters surrounding the limestone formations.
