Cape Arid is a wildly beautiful and remote park. This place is nature at its best, and there's lots to do here such as walking, swimming, snorkelling and fishing. With wide sandy beaches and clear waters, it’s easy to see why!
In winter and spring migrating whales pass close by and Dolphin Cove and the Tagon Coastal Trail are perfect spots for whale watching.
As you move inland, you’ll notice the landscape change. Coastal sand heaths and low granite hills transform into saltbush and bluebush woodlands. This rich and diverse park is home to over 1100 species of plants and more than 160 species of birds. It’s an important conservation area for several rare and endangered species. A pair of binoculars will come in handy for birdwatching! And in spring, the landscape transforms into a colourful tapestry of wildflowers.
Walking is the best way to explore the wildlife and enjoy the magnificent scenery. Take your pick of one of the many walking trails. You’ll discover homestead ruins, buildings and dams that hint at times gone by. Pioneer graziers once inhabited and worked the land in this area.
You'll need to stay awhile to take it all in so why not set up camp at one of the many campgrounds.
