Attractions

Stretch out on the grass under the trees and drift away to the gentle sounds of the waves rolling up the beach, cook a BBQ lunch or enjoy a picnic before heading off on one of the many walks.

Explore the rock pools at low tide and marvel at the intricate patterns made by sand bubbler crabs on the broad beach. In the late afternoon, sit back and watch as agile wallabies come to the beach, shrouded in a sky awash with sunset colours.

Please remember, dogs and other domestic animals are not permitted in the Cape Hillsborough day-use area. Please make other arrangements for your dogs and pets.
