One of the main attractions to the park is the ‘Pinnacles’ and its associated walking track. the Pinnacles is a formation dating back some 65 million years, when soft white sand and its cap of red clay laid the foundations for the subsequent feature which now exists. The full beauty of the formation can be gained from the opposing cliff top.

The initial 300 m of walking track to the Pinnacles passes through eucalypt forest, shrub layers and a small section of Port Jackson pines. From the viewing platform, the trail continues across a mainly heath covered windswept headland with panoramic views of the ocean. The track then returns through a deeper, richer form of plant life.

Check out Boyds Tower, originally designed as a lighthouse by Benjamin Boyd and built in 1847.
