A lovely place to walk and take in all the amazing views! We had so many breaks in between to just take in the sound of the ocean, the sea breeze and to click pictures to remember the kind of place we took a walk to! Highly recommended and once you reach the fort, don't forget to sit for a while and enjoy :) the other areas are locked out due to COVID but the walk was worth it!

A great way to spend a half day exploring! The rugged landscape is amazing, and it's great to be able to crawl through the disused fort. The fact that the shuttle bus is $12 per adult is absolutely insane, so I'd pack some good walking shoes. A great spot to look out from is the Harold Holt Memorial site.

The remains of a bunkered concrete fortress that was completed in 1911, taking advantage of the long-distance firing range of the coastal defence guns into the bass strait. Some great views from this outpost and plenty of information boards to account for this history at this site.

Walked to Fort Pearce from the car park (From which point the only option is a bus at $12 return, or walk). Our walk was approx 4.6ks return, you can go further to the actual point. Its somewhat hilly but not too difficult. If you're a history buff especially re WWII it's very interesting. There is a memorial to PM Harold Holt along the way as well. Views are great if...
