The area is steeped in history, with the steps originally carved by the Kirrae Whurrong people, later used by Hugh Gibson, a local settler.
The beach at Gibson Steps is a haven for nature lovers and photographers, providing stunning views of the Southern Ocean's mighty waves and unique geological formations. While swimming is not recommended due to strong riptides, the beach is popular for fishing.
