Appreciate the powerful beauty of the southern coastline from the lookout over Conspicuous Cliff. There is a pristine beach, limestone cliffs and granite headlands. Follow the boardwalk down to the beach and walk in the salty, invigorating wind and listen to the deafening sound of crashing waves
This is one of only a few places around Walpole that offers two wheel-drive access to the coast. Enjoy spectacular coastal views from the lookouts. During winter and spring you might be lucky enough to see whales from the whale-watching lookouts high above the beach.
Drive trail:
From Walpole Drive 13km east on the South Coast Highway, turn right at Conspicuous Beach Road then drive south for about 7km to Conspicuous Beach.
Once at Conspicuous Cliff, the walk trails and lookouts provide spectacular views and a chance to witness the antics of migrating whales in winter and spring. Take a walk on the beach, visit the whale watching platform or appreciate the fabulous coastal heathland featuring swamp paperbark and the red flowering gum.
From the parking area (200m return) there is a picnic shelter and accessible lookout platform. There is a fantastic boardwalk and stairs down to the beach where you can fish for salmon, feel the sand between your toes as you comb the beach for shells. Seabirds and other marine life are found here all year round.
