Shelley Beach is the most visited area in West Cape Howe National Park, and it's the only place in the park that is accessible to two-wheel drive vehicle.
The Herdsman Lake Discovery Centre is located right on the edge of Herdsman Lake and provides an opportunity for the community to interact with the research being conducted there.
The area is highly significant to Ngarla traditional owners and includes the mangrove-lined embayments of Bake Bean Creek, sandy beaches and intertidal sand and mudflats. It is a popular spot for recreational fishing.
In contrast to the vast stretches of sandy beach in the rest of the park Cape Keraudren features rocky shores, seagrass meadows, narrow sandy beaches, tidal creeks and mangrove-lined muddy bays.
