About this place

Sugarloaf Rock is a nature reserve and a haven for nesting seabirds such as the geographically-restricted red-tailed tropicbird.

Please do not try to cross to its rocky slopes. The crossing is treacherous and the wildlife should be left in peace.

The area around Sugarloaf Rock is a general use zone of the Ngari Capes Marine Park where fishing is permitted. For more information visit Fisheries.
