The lighthouse stands on a rugged southern peninsula protected by South Bruny National Park.
You need a valid Tasmania National Parks Pass to enter the reserve. A 24-hour pass costs approximately $24 per adult or $44.75 per vehicle. The area is known for extreme winds year-round from the Southern Ocean.
Always stay behind safety fences and on marked paths near the unstable cliff edges. Do not approach or feed local wildlife. Drones are not allowed to be flown in the park without a specific permit.

30 minsShort track
A short walking track leads from the lighthouse grounds down to this windswept beach. You can watch the powerful waves of the Southern Ocean crash against the shore. Keep an eye out for native seabirds along the sand.
