Sugarloaf Rock
Sugar Loaf Rock
A solitary granite boulder in the sea near Cape Naturaliste. Its silhouette at sunset is magnificent, making it the peninsula's most popular sunset photo spot.
Sugar Loaf Rock is an isolated granite boulder in the sea south of Cape Naturaliste, shaped like a loaf of sugar. Waves constantly break against its base, and at sunset the sun sinks into the Indian Ocean, forming a classic silhouette. The rock is also one of the southernmost breeding sites of red-tailed tropicbirds in Western Australia. As a nature reserve, it cannot be climbed. A viewing platform beside the car park connects to the Cape to Cape Track, which leads north to Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse (about 3.5 km). Admission is free. Winds by the sea can be strong, and it gets dark quickly after sunset, so take care.
