Bald Head

Bald Head sits at the end of Flinders Peninsula with granite rock formations and connecting walking paths that offer views over the Southern Ocean and King George Sound. The area features steep cliffs and rocky coastline that drop sharply into the water.

The Minang Aboriginal people held deep connections to this coastal area for thousands of years before European settlers reached the Albany region. The location later became important for exploring and understanding the southern Australian coastline.

The summit serves as a viewing point during whale migration seasons, when visitors gather to watch marine life pass through the Southern Ocean.

Visit during stable weather as conditions can change quickly due to exposure to the ocean and wind. Bring water, sun protection, and proper hiking gear, allowing plenty of time for the journey in both directions.

The granite headland marks the eastern edge of the park where the Australian continent meets the Southern Ocean. On clear days visitors can see far along the coastline and sense how the waves have shaped the dramatic cliffs over time.
