Shipwreck Coast

Stretching along the coast of Victoria, and home to the famous limestone formations known as "the Twelve Apostles," is Australia's Shipwreck Coast. This section of coastline is made up of cliffs, reef, islands and outcrops of rocks. In combination with the winds and the often stormy seas, sailing these waters could be very dangerous. Along the stretch of the Victorian coast from Port Fairy to Cape Otway alone there have been over 80 shipwrecks, with over 200 known wrecks along the total coast line. The Twelve Apostles formations are situated along the coast, standing up to 45 meters high. This area is the most recognizable and most photographed area of the Shipwreck Coast.
