Starting from the car park off Jagger Road, Encounter Bay, this walk takes you on a circuit around The Bluff via The Bluff Summit Walk. The Bluff, also known as Rosetta Head, is an iconic geological formation on the southern edge of Victor Harbor, offering stunning views of this picturesque coastal region. The headland is part of the Dreamtime stories of the Ngarrindjeri people. During the 1800s, it was used for whaling and mining. Between May and November, southern right whales can be spotted in the surrounding waters, which are popular for recreational diving, while the wharf is used for fishing. There are many large granite boulders at the summit, as well as a plaque commemorating the encounter between Matthew Flinders and Nicolas Baudin in 1802. This short walk winds along the coastline, ascending to the summit before looping back down, providing panoramic views of Victor Harbor, Granite Island, West Island, Wright Island, Seal Rock and the rugged cliffs to the west. This loop consists of gravel paths and walking trails, with some short steep hills and uneven natural surfaces, suitable for average fitness levels. 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.
