About this place
Soak up the stunning views of the Southern Ocean crashing against the shore from the top of the cliff at Tookulup.
Situated on a 100-metre-high limestone cliff, Tookulup is one of the lookouts along D’Entrecasteaux Drive and provides sensational views of the fury of the Southern Ocean. The platform is accessible by wheelchairs. It is also perfect for whale watching in season and you may be lucky enough to spot shoals of salmon and pods of dolphins pass by.
One of the best ways to experience the wildness of this coast is a walk along the towering cliffs. The Cliff Top Walk is an exciting walk winding its way along the cliff top, connecting Tookulup with Point D’Entrecasteaux. Here you can experience the winds roaring across the cliffs, while looking down at the churning Southern Ocean below.
- Distance: 1.3km one way
- Time: Allow 1 hour
- Class: 2-3 Moderately easy
A whale watching platform is set high on the limestone cliff, providing unbeatable views of the southern coastline. The best time for whale watching is September to June.
