💡 Tips

  • Look for seals lounging near the breakwater at Australia Rock; the best time is during low tide.
  • Boat tours to Montague Island are popular for diving and wildlife spotting, so book well in advance.
  • Walk the Mill Bay Boardwalk for a flat, scenic path where you can often spot stingrays in the clear waters below.
  • Parking near the main beaches gets full in summer; try parking a bit further inland and walking.
