At the southernmost peak of the Torndirrup Peninsula is Peak Head, a bluff of rounded cliffs with spectacular ocean views.
The track to Peak Head starts near the Stony Hill carpark and winds through thick coastal scrub. The return walk takes around 2.5 hours and requires some clambering and climbing over granite rocks and up small granite walls.
Fantastic views over the Southern Ocean make the effort worthwhile.

Trails are free and bring so many benefits to our community by providing opportunities to have fun, get fit, socialise, explore and challenge yourself. But they also have to be managed and maintained which only is made possible through terrific sponsors, donations and/or volunteering.
