West cape howe contains some superb coastline and a great variety of plants. Swamp areas in the park form a habitat for the insect-eating albany pitcher plant, and many birds. Patches of karri forest, and granite and limestone cliffs are also features of the park.

West Cape Howe National Park

Details

Getting There: Location: coastline from forsythe bluff south of cosy corner, to lowlands beach - distance: 30km west of albany Access: a good gravel road leads from the torbay hill entrance to shelley beach. All other tracks in the park are suitable for 4wd vehicles only.
Further Information: Take care on the coast: even on calm days unpredictable surges rising from the southern ocean hundreds of kilometres away may sweep over the shore. Because the edge of the continental shelf is so close to the coast the energy of these waves is not broken up before they reach the shoreline. Don't risk being the next victim. Always watch the ocean, and stay well clear of the sea level.
