Cape Nelson State Park, Protected coastal area in Victoria, Australia
Cape Nelson State Park extends across 243 hectares of land featuring limestone cliffs, eucalyptus forests, and coastal heathlands along the Southern Ocean.
The Cape Nelson Lighthouse, constructed in 1881, guided maritime vessels through the treacherous waters of Victoria's southwestern coastline for over 140 years.
The park stands within the traditional lands of the Gunditjmara People, containing numerous sites of Aboriginal significance spanning thousands of years.
Visitors can access multiple walking trails, including the 3-kilometer Sea Cliff Nature Walk and the 6-kilometer Lighthouse Walk with ocean viewpoints.
The park hosts populations of rare Heath Mice, Red-necked Wallabies, and specialized coastal vegetation including soap mallee and drooping velvet bush.
