Perched high on Norfolk’s southwestern coast, Point Ross delivers rugged beauty and panoramic views. From the clifftop, you’ll spot Phillip and Nepean Islands rising from the sea, and on clear days, you can even glimpse fish gliding through the waters of Crystal Pool far below. It’s a spot that feels remote, raw, and connected to the ocean.
While the outlook is reason enough to visit, Point Ross also offers a peek into one of the island’s best-kept secrets, Crystal Pool. Framed by rock walls and fed by the tide, this natural pool shimmers with clear waters. During low tide, you might see the pool from above, glowing in the sun.
Accessing the pool itself is recommended with a guide, as the descent is steep and potentially hazardous. For those who are adventurous, the experience is unforgettable, but safety is essential. Ask at the Visitor Information Centre about guided access.
Keep your eyes peeled along the cliff edges as wedge-tailed shearwaters often nest here, and you’ll hear their calls if you linger in the quiet.
