Why go

The cape is a clear coastal anchor with broad views in fair conditions. Wind and fog can change the experience quickly, so stay on marked areas and keep the lighthouse interpretation centre as a separate indoor option. The stone marker identifies the western mainland point amid the open cliffs.

What to look for

A stone marker stands at the western mainland headland.

Useful to know
