| There are so many fabulous things to see and do while visiting Elliston and the surrounding areas. |
| Great Ocean Tourist Drive - Sculptures dotted along coastline – home of the popular surfing spot off of Blackfellows Jetty. This drive is just brilliant. The District Council have gone to a lot of effort for the tourist customers' into their area. |
Waterloo Bay foreshore offering picnic and bbq area, pontoon for swimming and an opportunity to stretch your legs walking along the beach to the jetty. |
| Walking Trail – well defined track easily accessible and using the beach, loops around town including the jetty. |
| Jetty – erected in 1900 to replace old jetty, provided a much needed improvement to the shipping facilities. The jetty has been heritage listed due to its steel pylons, these were screwed into the seabed by a horse drawn winch. The jetty is 1389ft in length (approx 427m). |
| Playground / skate park Set in a lawned area the playground keeps kids entertained for hours, grab a bite at the bakery and sit in the shade and watch the kids play. The skatepark was built in 2006 and the Youth Advisory Council (YAC) group has complimented it with artwork designed by ‘Romy’ a popular local artist. |
| Anxious Bay – boat ramp providing access for the keen fisherman, with warm shallow water in the corner ideal for young children to swim. |
| The District Council has set aside camping reserves for bush camping. These offer visitors swimming and fishing opportunities. |
Locks Well is rated as one of the best salmon fishing beaches in Australia and is very popular with the keen angler.
With a 60 metre drop, the beach has become more accessible with the erection in 1998 of a 283 step stairway and a lookout, providing great opportunity for the keen photographer to capture the stunning sunsets for which the West Coast is renowned.
Just of couple of photos of the sculptures on the Great Ocean Tourist Drive.
