DESCRIPTION
Take in the 360 degree views of the coastline from the summit of Stoney Hill. Walk in bushland abundant in wildflowers; hakea, acacia, banksia, dryandra, adenanthus, agonis. Absorb the vast expanse of the Southern Ocean. Take in the rugged coastline that early explorers first encountered as they rounded the peninsula for the sheltered waters of Princess Royal Harbour.
Department for Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions has closed THE GAP for maintenance until 25 Dec 2024.
Visit other scenic viewpoints, beaches and bays. Enjoy a walk in nature and wildflowers, see Salmon Holes and Frenchman Bay.
Travel on to the cove from where sailing boats launch into the quiet harbour before one more view from the Albany Wind Farm to Mutton Bird Island. Looking across the vibrant City of Albany, the granite formations of the Stirling and Porongurup Ranges are visible in the distance. Complete your journey and exploration of the impressive coastline with a relaxing refreshment.
AFTER 25 Dec 2024. Get closer to the edge! At The Gap, feel the power of the wind and water from the masterfully crafted, protected walkway lookout over The Gap. See the pounding waves as they thrash the granite walls and surge through the spaces. Feel the exhilarating force in your body; taste the salt spray on your lips, breathe in the invigorating fresh air!
