Cape Woolamai
The highest point on Phillip Island, with pink granite sea cliffs and The Pinnacles, rock stacks dropping into the sea. The cape walk offers spectacular views.
Cape Woolamai is at the southeastern tip of Phillip Island. It is built of pink granite, with sea cliffs about 100 metres high, making it the highest point on the island. From the Woolamai Beach car park, you can walk along the beach and clifftop path to viewpoints overlooking The Pinnacles. The full loop is about 5–8 km and takes 2–4 hours. From late September to April, hundreds of thousands of short-tailed shearwaters nest in the clifftop grass, and their evening return to the burrows is spectacular. The cliff edge is windy and has no railings, so take care. Admission is free.
