Description

“Above Addis” is a sunrise shot of Point Addis, Victoria, Australia

Point Addis Marine National Park is 4420 hectares in size, making it the third largest of the Victoria’s  Marine National Parks. Between the rugged coastline of Torquay and Anglesea it has wide sandy beaches backed by crumbling limestone cliffs with extensive intertidal rocky platforms along the headlands.

The park is notable for being part of a high wave-energy shoreline on the edge of Bass Strait and often has great conditions for surfing with strong south-westerly swells generated in the Southern Ocean.

Point Addis Marine National Park is probably best known as being the home to the annual Bells Beach international surfing competition the ‘Ripcurl Pro’ which has been hosted yearly since 1961. Many local surfers and conservation groups strongly campaigned for the inclusion of Bells Beach within the highly protected Marine National Park.
