About this place
Spectacular limestone cliffs, after which the place is named, are a photographer's delight, as is the large surf that pounds the shore of this pristine beach.
The walk trails and lookouts provide spectacular views and a chance to witness the antics of migrating whales in winter and spring. Take your time and 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.

- Keep well clear of the sea.
- Avoid slippery rocks and loose surfaces.
