Clamber over rocks to discover mini eco systems and secret marine worlds in the rocks along the beach... it's exciting never knowing what's going to hide in the rock pools. And if you tire of trying to find hidden delights you can simply walk along the beach and enjoy the view. This is a lovely beach just to spend time on... apparently it's a patrolled beach in Summer meaning that for young families it's probably a safer time...but for someone like myself who simply plays with the edge of the waves... this is a delight all year around.

We combined this walk with the canyon walk starting and ending at Allenvale car park and walking via Phantom Falls. The scenery includes wonderful forests, an amazing ferntree gully and :going down the rabbit hole: to enter the canyon

I feel like I need to write this review for those of us who are unfit, since other reviews say how easy this walk is. The return walk is a killer. I cannot count how many times I had to stop and let my heart rate settle before I could move on. I am capable of walking very long distances on flat land but this 2km constant incline absolutely destroyed me. Decide for yourself if you are fit enough, or willing to swallow your pride and stop every 50m to recover. Having said that! The walk was stunning, there are some incredibly tall and impressive trees to stop and admire. The Cascades themselves are lovely and I had the place to myself. The hike doesn't seem as popular as others in the area so you may well have the perfect quiet hike with only you and the birds singing. I think it would be more difficult in wetter months as I could tell the track is prone to being muddy and slippery. Wear appropriate shoes/gumboots and take hiking poles if you're unsteady on your feet. The scenery was worth the effort and I'll definitely be back once I've spent a few hours on the Stairmaster. ????

You want to treat yourself ? HAH is the place ! The toasts are amazing, Jaffles too (loved the beef one) or enjoy their buddha bowl with tasty falafel. And the best for me is their smoothies or acaï bowl ! all of this while you are enjoying the view from their place which is just in front of the beach. Amazing. Thanks to the lovely staff, feels like home and always welcome :)

Located within walking distance of the famous Lorne Pier, Shelly Beach is without doubt one of the most spectacular natural phenomena we have ever had the privilege to experience. [ Swimming Here is Definitely NOT Recommended ]: This region of coastline incorporating a section of Lorne & the Pier is referred to as Point Grey & immediately south of the point are in fact two beaches one of which is Shelly Beach. Separated from the adjacent Point Grey Beach by an extensive rock platform Shelly is reported to be only one hundred [100] metres long. With numerous rocks & reefs dominating the waters & permanent, strong rips that run out through those rocks Shelly Beach is NOT suitable for swimming. In fact it is classed as "Unpatrolled" and there are no Surf Life Saving Services regularly provided for this particular spot. [ But what about Surfing & Fishing You May Ask? ]: There is reference to Fishing & Surfing being possible in this vicinity, however as is typical in Australia you may need to contend with just a few hazards such as Sharks, Topographic Rips, Strong Winds & a High Tide Range - so as always please research thoroughly if you do decide to venture out. [Summary]: Most of us would be aware of the saying that "a picture paints a thousand words' & my husband & I have tried our best by means of this review & the accompanying photographs to share with our fellow travellers just how incredibly magnificent this section of coastline is. The reality is that to fully appreciate the beautiful patterns & sculpturing performed by the immense ocean forces one must get "up close and personal'. The geometric shapes & precision lines & grooves combined with the swirls & multi-layering in the rock ledges reminded me of a cross between Art Deco & Art Nouveau only far superior than anything man has ever made. For those not up to scurrying over rocks then you can simply sit back on the gently sloping, grassy hills here at Shelly Beach enjoying a picnic, reading a book or simply relax to the magnificent sounds created by the waves. Thank you for reading this review we hope that it is helpful. Please also refer to the photographs as they form a part of this review.
