Cape to Cape Track
A 123 km coastal trail from Cape Naturaliste to Cape Leeuwin, winding past cliffs, beaches and karri forest, with single-day sections for shorter walks.
The Cape to Cape Track runs about 123 km from Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse in the north to Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse in the south, through Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park. Along the way you'll find sea cliffs, white sand beaches, limestone caves and karri forest. The full walk usually takes 5 to 7 days, with basic campsites along the route. Most visitors tackle just one section for a half-day or day hike, such as Cape Naturaliste to Sugarloaf Rock, Prevelly to Red Gate Beach, or Hamelin Bay to Cape Leeuwin. September to November is the best time, with wildflowers in bloom and cool weather. Summer offers little shade, so bring plenty of water. The coordinates point to the middle section near the mouth of the Margaret River. Check the park authority's trail conditions and bushfire advisories before setting out.
