Lineup Guide
Access is via the Great Ocean Road at Cumberland River, with the road forming the rear boundary of the beach and a car park just north of the bridge.
The waves interact with sand and rock platforms, so expect a compact surf zone, strong rips, and a setup that tightens when the swell grows.
