There is a small cemetery near the lighthouse which records the tragedies which were common when people lived in such isolated circumstances. To get there head west of Apollo Bay for 20 km along the Great Ocean Road and take the signposted left. It is 12 km to the lighthouse. There are marked walking tracks from the lighthouse. Guided tours are conducted daily.
Accommodation is available in the lighthouse keeper's cottages.
There is a track around the coast from Cape Otway which provides spectacular views. If you have the time and inclination it offers some of the best views along the coast. Accommodation and Eating See Apollo Bay for details. There are two excellent books on the Great Ocean Road which we strongly recommend to anyone planning to spend extended time in the area. The Great Ocean Road has very detailed information on all the attractions and excellent maps of the towns and the coastline.
