Addiscot Beach, also known as Addis Beach or Point Addis Beach, is an unpatrolled, south-west facing sandy bay located near Bells Beach on the Surf Coast. It is part of the Point Addis Marine National Park, which is characterized by a high wave-energy shoreline on the edge of Bass Strait, with strong south-westerly swells generated in the Southern Ocean. The beach features 1.8 kilometers of coastline backed by dramatic, crumbling limestone and red sandstone cliffs. This area is known for its extensive intertidal rocky platforms along the headlands. The beach is accessed via walking trails from points like Southside and Point Addis, and it is a popular link on the Surf Coast Walk. Access is via the sand. A significant and constant safety consideration is the instability of the cliffs. There have been repeated cliff collapses at Jarosite Point along this beach, with rock and earth falling across the sand. An exclusion zone is in place around the cliffs, and paddlers must stay clear of cliff edges and bases, stick to established paths, and heed all warning signs. The marine park supports a high diversity of marine life, and species such as Blue Whales, Southern Right Whales, Killer Whales, Australian Fur Seals, and numerous seabirds have been recorded in the area. The water is part of a protected marine national park, so all activities must comply with park regulations aimed at conservation. The exposed nature of the beach means conditions are heavily influenced by swell and wind, making it suitable primarily for experienced paddlers comfortable in surf zones. The secluded spots along the beach offer a quiet coastal experience.
