D'Entrecasteaux Drive

Just 30 minutes south of Northcliffe you will find the only sealed access to the D'Entrecasteaux National Park - a magnificent coastal paradise.

This road leads past the entrance to Lane Poole Falls, Boorara Tree and the 187m high Mount Chudalup. After a moderate 30min climb you will see some beautiful views of the D'Entrecasteaux National Park and Meerup sand dunes.

D'Entrecasteaux Drive is a 6km scenic drive that takes you from Wheatley Coast Road at Windy Harbour to Point D'Entrecasteaux & lighthouse.

The drive features vehicle lay bys offering exceptional views of the southern coastline and coastal heath wilderness. At the midpoint you will come to Salmon Beach Road, leading to the beautiful Salmon Beach.

As you continue along the D'Entrecasteaux Drive you will come to the Tookalup recreational site, a whale watching platform nestled on top of a 100m high limestone cliff. Whale watching is the best from September to June.

The magnificent Point D'Entrecasteaux is the end of the journey. This site has a great deal to offer with walk trails, viewing platforms and the starting point for the cliff top walk.

The D'Entrecasteaux National Park is world renowned for its unusual botanical and geological features. This park has 131km of sweeping sandy beaches, interrupted only by foaming near shore reefs. Beautiful remote areas are accessible by 4WD vehicles.
