Explore
Walk the wooden boardwalk and staircase descending the cliffs to the wild ocean.
The coastal boardwalk connects the lighthouse reserve to the Bass Strait below. The path features designated lookouts for viewing offshore basalt rock formations shaped by volcanic activity.
The trail is free to access. Wear sturdy walking shoes to navigate the wooden stairs and the rocky tidal shelves at the base.
15 minutesPhoto spot
Pulpit Rock is a distinct offshore basalt formation created by millions of years of volcanic activity. You can see it clearly from the wooden staircase. Stop at the designated lookouts along the path for the best photograph.
10 minutesInterpretive signs
The Devil's Desk is another geological basalt feature visible from the track's lookouts. Interpretive signs line the path to explain the area's volcanic history. Read them to understand how these rugged cliff shapes formed over time.
30 minutesRogue wave risk
At the bottom of the stairs lies a rugged tidal rock shelf with rock pools and ocean crashes. You can explore the base, but never turn your back to the ocean.
