As a diversion from the white sands, detour to the freshwater lake, Lake Mombeong, or revisit the forest at Mount Richmond. Koalas are usually on hand to greet you in this area, while in Spring, the wattle, heaths and wildflowers will leave you spell-bound.
As the walk heads back to Discovery Bay, Cape Bridgewater and Cape Nelson, you can watch seal colonies at play and an occasional Southern Right whale viewed from the rugged cliffs, and obtain magnificent views of the gannet rookery on the mainland at Point Danger, as well as on Lawrence Rocks.
