Between Point Sturt and Hitchcock Gully is 4 km of steep, forested slopes, with the Great Ocean Road winding along about 20 m above the bordering rock platforms. In amongst the rocks, and behind them in places, are seven generally small sand beaches, each dominated to some degree by the rock platforms and reefs. They all tend to face south-east, exposing them to waves averaging 1 to 1.5 m. Access to all the beaches requires a climb down the bluffs from the road, with parking limited to the side of the road. Beach 357 is an 800 m long, sinuous platform beach that winds along between the rocks, the platforms and reefs. For the most part it has continuous platforms, that are exposed at low tide, with reefs and tidal pools in a few spots.
