Eastern View is a picturesque coastal locality in Victoria, Australia, known for its stunning beach and its position along the Great Ocean Road. The beach offers a 2km stretch of soft golden sand and crystal-clear waters, making it ideal for swimming, surfing, and fishing. The area also features a memorial arch commemorating the construction of the Great Ocean Road by returned soldiers from World War I. Visitors can enjoy views of the Twelve Apostles from this location. The area is surrounded by the Great Otway National Park, offering opportunities for bushwalking and nature exploration.
Historically, Eastern View was once a remote coastal area, but the construction of the Great Ocean Road in the 1920s transformed it into a scenic destination. Although the area once boasted an Eastern View Hotel and a nine-hole golf course, both closed many years ago. Today, the area remains largely residential with a few amenities nearby.
Despite its serene natural beauty, Eastern View lacks extensive commercial development, making it a tranquil getaway for those seeking to connect with nature. The nearby towns of Lorne and Aireys Inlet provide additional dining and accommodation options for visitors.
