Loch Ard Gorge, located in Port Campbell National Park, is yet another stunning coastal gem along the great ocean road with a story as dramatic as its scenery. Named after the tragic shipwreck of the Loch Ard in 1878, this spot is a living piece of maritime history. Only two souls, Thomas Pearce and Eva Carmichael, survived the shipwreck, and their tale is commemorated here. This spot is a visual stunner, offering access to a picturesque beach where you can actually stroll along the sand, a rare treat in this rugged coastline. The pathway winds through breathtaking cliffs and dramatic rock formations, making it a fantastic spot for exploration and photography. As you wander, you'll encounter informative plaques and a small museum that dives into the tragic shipwreck of the Loch Ard, enriching your visit with a fascinating historical perspective.
