London Bridge

Moderate risk: Ocean swell and surge

Southern Ocean swells can produce strong and unpredictable surge conditions around the arch and reef, particularly during winter storms.

Moderate risk: Rough surf and strong swells

Bass Strait produces powerful waves and rips, especially on windy days. The ocean beach is exposed and can be treacherous for swimming.

Moderate risk: Unstable cliff edges

The clifftop near the lookout has unstable edges due to erosion. Do not jump the safety fence.

Low risk: Tide-dependent access

The rockpools are most accessible and safest at low tide. At high tide the water deepens and waves break over the reef, making entry more challenging.

Low risk: Slippery rocks

Rocks around the arch and pools can be extremely slippery, especially when wet.

Low risk: Steep access path

The rockpools are only accessible via a steep path and stairs from the lookout. Not wheelchair accessible.

Low risk: Sharp and slippery rocks

The rocks around the arch and rockpools can be wet, sharp, and uneven. Sturdy water shoes are recommended.

Low risk: Changing tide conditions

Best explored at low tide when rockpools are accessible. Incoming tide can cut off access around the arch.
