Great view and a nice walk. We stopped there on way back from Monkey Mia at the start of summer because it was apparently “teeming with wildlife”. However, unfortunately didn’t see a single creature in the couple of hours we spent up there ☹️

Headed here to see the sun set - magical experience watching the changing landscape and to be the last folk in Australia for the day to see the sun set. Great boardwalk that gives easy access to sweeping views of the seascape.
