255km north of Perth, 5km north east of Jurien.

 

Several caves dot this small national park which is otherwise unremarkable. Access to most of the caves is by 4wd only. The nearby coastline offers good fishing and swimming.

 

Some of the caves are inhabited by bees and large hives hang over the entrances. Precautions should be taken when approaching or leaving these caves.

 

Update 2007: We recently received information that access to the caves is by walking only.
