Cape Wanbrow coastal track

This short track on the east side of Cape Wanbrow gives coastal views, nesting seabirds including little penguins, and fur seals resting below. At low tide you can reach the pillow lava formations on the beach. Parking is at the ends of Tamar Street and Test Street.

Good to know

• Keep your distance from seals
• Slippery in the wet
• Tsunami-risk track, move to high ground if a siren sounds
