Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse
A lighthouse at the northern tip of the peninsula, with guided tower climbs and coastal trails past sea cliffs and wildflowers. It is also the northern starting point of the Cape to Cape Track.
Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse was built in 1903–1904. Standing about 20 metres tall on a headland, it overlooks Geographe Bay and the Indian Ocean. Guided tours allow visitors to climb the tower and visit the keeper's cottage museum. Several coastal trails around the lighthouse lead to whale-watching platforms, Sugar Loaf Rock and the bays. In spring (September–November), wildflowers blanket the area, and from September to December you can see humpback whales migrating past with their calves. This is the northern starting point of the 123 km Cape to Cape Track. Admission has separate tiers for the grounds and tower climbs, and opening hours should be checked on the official site. It is about 15 minutes' drive from Dunsborough.
