Hike Summary
A short stroll from the carpark down the headland to reveal Admirals Arch, a significant geological formation. View the pounding waves of the Southern Ocean. As you walk down, watch out for long nosed fur seals basking in the sun on the rocks. The boardwalk descends stairs down into a bay before emerging in Admirals Arch, where viewing platforms allow you to watch the seals closer.
The walk begins in the lower carpark, below the lighthouse. The first 3/4 of the walk is wheelchair accessible along the wide boardwalk, before the path descends down stairs into the arch.
