Aire River, Rainbow Falls, Cape Otway Circuit

Hike the spectacular beach and clifftops between Aire River and Cape Otway, with a detour to view Rainbow Falls. The historic Cape Otway Lighthouse and its surrounds are a great attraction to explore and have a picnic lunch (or eat at the café). Check the tides before setting off as the beach section is impassable at high tide. Some scrambling required.
