A mown track crosses open ground to three pa sites, undefended living terraces and storage pits on the headland. You get good views over Doubtless Bay and can drop down to a small beach. It is signposted on SH10 between Cable Bay and Coopers Beach.

Good to know

  • Headland is steep and rocky
  • Muddy and slippery in winter
  • No fires or camping
  • Treat the pa sites with respect
