Erskine Falls
A 30 metre cascade tucked into a fern‑lined valley about ten minutes' drive from town. The short walk down a wooden stairway feels much further from the coast than it really is.

Easy walk to a clifftop platform overlooking the St George River meeting the sea. Best at sunset, when the Great Ocean Road snakes off into a pink haze beneath you.
A longer loop through the Allenvale rainforest, with a slim curtain of water sliding over an overhang at the end. Bring boots — it gets muddy after rain.
A gentle 45‑minute return walk from the coast road. The falls themselves are small, but the rainforest along Sheoak Creek is worth the trip on its own.
