Standing on a 66-metre high cliff, this 34-metre tall lighthouse is one of the iconic sites of the Great Ocean Road.

Yet on this famous road, you'll find the even more famous Cape Otway Lighthouse.

The lighthouse in Aireys Inlet was built in 1891 and is still in operation today.

Tourists can also visit the inside of the lighthouse, but booking online at least 2 days in advance at splitpointlighthouse.com.au is advisable. The cost is 12,50 aud.
