Discover Lowlands: Coast and activities nearby

The area around Lowlands offers a range of themes to consider when planning your trip: coastal landscapes and wildlife, a clearly defined geographical point, and activities at a lookout and in a national park. You can start by deciding whether you are most interested in natural features, air sports or the routes mentioned in the park. The places mentioned are all near Lowlands.

Coastal landscapes and geographical context

West Cape Howe National Park features high cliffs, white sand beaches, granite headlands and powerful surf. It also has coastal heathland and karri forest. The landscape combines striking coastal formations with vegetated areas and is also home to numerous birds and wild animals. This offers two ways to explore its natural appeal: through the coastal formations and the different habitats. If you would like to consider more than one aspect of the landscape when planning your trip, the description here includes vegetation and wildlife as well as beaches, cliffs and surf.

Torbay Head offers a different geographical point of interest: it is the southernmost point of Western Australia. Unlike the diverse landforms of the national park, its significance can be defined by a clear geographical distinction. If you would like to include both a specific geographical feature and a range of natural features in your travel plans, Torbay Head and West Cape Howe National Park offer two clearly distinct points of interest near Lowlands.

Air sports and activities in the national park

Hang gliders launch from Shelley Beach Lookout. Two platforms purpose-built for hang gliding and paragliding add to the air sports on offer. The distinction is precise: hang gliders launch from the lookout, while the platforms were built for both sports. For travellers interested in hang gliding or paragliding, the lookout is therefore a specific activity destination. It is distinct from Torbay Head as a geographical point of interest and from the national park as a landscape destination.

West Cape Howe National Park also has sandy four-wheel-drive tracks and a section of the Bibbulmun Track. These two options are distinct both from the platforms at the lookout and from each other: the four-wheel-drive tracks are sandy, while the Bibbulmun Track is represented by a section. These specific activities add to the national park's natural features. If you are organising your stay around your interests, you can distinguish the air sports at the lookout from the tracks and trail in the park.
