    Drove up to see the cliffs but shrubs and weeds to high to see them.

    Beautiful place, well worth a stop over and do recommend staying within the boundaries placed as the rock is not stable on cliff edges. There are plenty of photo opportunities and lovely on a sunny day. If possible also take a drive towards the lighthouse/ beacon further up the road to spot seals frolicking in the water.

    Amazing view on a sunny day. Risky, but much better views if you jump the barrier and walk along the peninsula. Hidden gem

    Nice view ;) it's nice to take the detour around the coast. Good and peasant break from highway.

    Interesting, though in rainy weather the view is rather restricted. Next to the car park there are alpacas on the paddock though!

    Really nice, but a bit disappointing not to be able to walk around. To me, better worth the detour if you also go to the beach.

    Never seen something like this, it’s definitely worth going there when you are anyway at the beach!
