Bicheno Blowhole
A natural blowhole in the granite coast on the edge of Bicheno town. Waves surge into the rock crevices and burst skyward. It's free, and you can park right next to it.
Bicheno Blowhole lies on the granite coast southeast of town. Waves surge into rock crevices, are squeezed, and erupt from the opening in a column of water several metres high, accompanied by a roar. The bigger the swell, the more spectacular the show. The orange lichen-covered rocks and bay beside it are great for photos, and a coastal path nearby leads to Waubs Bay and the town centre. Admission is free and it's open all day. Note that the spray can suddenly surge very high, so don't stand too close. The rocks are slippery, and children need close supervision.
