Perched on the island’s rugged southwest coast, Rocky Point is raw, windswept, and wildly beautiful. It’s a place where ocean swells crash against cliffs, seabirds wheel overhead, and walking trails lead through quiet reserves rich with life. For nature lovers and birdwatchers, it’s one of Norfolk’s most exciting lookouts.
To reach Rocky Point, follow the walking tracks through Hundred Acres Reserve. Along the way, you’ll pass through shaded groves and open headlands, perfect for spotting native birds. In summer, nesting season comes alive with white terns, noddies, and red-tailed tropicbirds, whose fluffy chicks nest right on the ground. Walk gently and stay on the path to avoid disturbing nesting sites.
From Rocky Point itself, take in uninterrupted ocean views, with the thunder of waves below, and the distant silhouettes of seabirds riding the breeze.
