Rossiter Bay Loop

Starting from the car park on Thistle Cove Road, Cape Le Grand, this circuit walk takes you to Rossiter Bay Loop and back. The trail offers you panoramic views of the ocean, the gigantic rock formations and the most beautiful beaches in Australia as you walk along the coastline. You can also see kangaroos living in the area close by, but you might want to be careful, just as with every other wild animal. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
