West Cape Headland Hike is a short walk from the West Cape car park within Innes National Park at the bottom of the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. We spent the day exploring Innes National Park and took the opportunity to walk around the West Cape Lighthouse, taking in some spectacular coastal views across the Southern Spencer Gulf Marine Park and off-shore islands.
There is a walking track from the car park leading up to a viewing platform that allows 360 degree views of this beautiful coastal area. The loop trail starts at this viewing platform and is a one kilometre return walk around the West Cape Lighthouse. Follow the signs and be careful as some of the cliffs are very steep the track takes you past areas of fragile coastal vegetation. Keep an eye out for lovely small flowers clinging to life among the rocks in this windy hostile part of the coast - see photos. The lighthouse was made of Stainless Steel and is reported to be the highest lighthouse in Australia.
West Cape Day Visitor area has public toilets (eco toilets) which are clean and have a water tank alongside for washing hands - unfortunately the tap was covered with bees and I was not game to disturb them (luckily we carry water and disinfectant wipes). A covered picnic table about 50 metres from the car parking area looks out over the ocean and national park – beautiful scenery. There are steps leading down to a lovely beach which I am sure is popular during warmer weather.
