Kayak Launch / Fishing Platform
Kayak Launch / Fishing Platform
Situated on Painkalac Creek at Aireys Inlet along the Great Ocean Road, this spot serves as both a roadside fishing pontoon and a convenient kayak launch point.
The platform sits at the water's edge among shaded surroundings, offering easy entry for paddlers heading upstream roughly 2 kilometres or downstream toward the Great Ocean Road.
Crossing the nearby bridge opens up a route to the iconic Round the Twist lighthouse.
The creek itself is known for dramatic fluctuations in water level — when the mouth to the ocean closes and rainfall is low, the water can drop significantly, while wet periods cause notable flooding and widening.
Near the creek mouth, several small platforms and jetties provide additional fishing positions, making it a popular and scenic stop for anglers and paddlers alike.
