Take a guided tour of the lighthouse, learn more about this iconic white tower and find out about shipwrecks and stories from the sea in the Maritime Museum which is below the lighthouse and the artwork inside is ‘a must see’. You’ll enjoy some of the best views of the ocean and hinterland including regular sightings of turtles, dolphins. It is the most easterly point of Australia, and one of the best places to see humpback whales as they pass on their annual migration between May and October.
Please Note
- The Maritime Museum is open 10am to 4pm daily
- Remember to take your binoculars if you want to whale watch
- It can be a busy place on the weekend, so parking might be limited
