The Gap platform
A go-to viewpoint at Torndirrup & the Whales.
The detail
What you'll find
The Gap platform is one of the best vantages around Torndirrup & the Whales. For golden hour: Stony Hill summit for granite-and-ocean panoramas. Sunset tip: Misery Beach (recently named Australia's best beach) for golden cliffs.
In context
A loop around the park covers The Gap (a viewing platform suspended over a 40m cliff drop), the Natural Bridge, Salmon Holes and Stony Hill. Allow at least half a day; bring a windproof layer — the Southern Ocean is rarely calm.
Good to know
Tips for the visit
- Arrive 30 minutes before golden hour
- Bring a windproof layer
- Stay back from cliff edges
