West Cape Howe

West Cape Howe National Park contains the most southerly point in Western Australia, Torbay Head.

Almost completely covered in heathland and forest and bearing the force of the Southern Ocean, this place was certainly worth the visit, despite the near gale force winds!

The scenery is outstanding featuring dramatic sea cliffs, limestone outcrops, karri forests, heathlands, white sandy beaches and rock islands.

Located south-west of Albany, West Cape Howe houses the famous Shelley Beach, and Shelley Beach Lookout where platforms are built into the side of the hilltop for hang-gliders and para-gliders to launch.
