About 15km North of Salt Creek on the Princess Hwy, a small dirt track leads to a carpark, from there you can walk along the beach or use the trail to get to an observatory that looks out to an island where the Pelicans breed. Some nice rock pools and clean shore can offer good birding. Otherwise being in the National Park the vegetation is good quality and the walk through the dunes can reap a reward.
No camping is allowed here
