Conspicuous Cliff Lookout & Beach to Rame Head Campsite

Starting from the car park at the end of Conspicuous Beach Road, Nornalup, this walk takes you to Rame Head Campsite via Bibbulmun Track, offering views of the pristine coastlines in Walpole. Although the coastlines around the area are difficult to get to, visitors can easily access the area and enjoy the isolated coastline scenery. There are also lookouts for whale watching before reaching the beach section of the walk. It is also possible to do birdwatching. You can opt to visit the area in winter and spring to observe the migrating whales. There are short steep sections, and the texture of the walk can be rough in certain places. Some bushwalking experience is recommended. 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.
