South Cape Bay Campsite sits just behind the beach at the far end of the South Cape Bay Track, surrounded by coastal heath, low forest, and the sound of the Southern Ocean. The small bush campsite is mainly used by overnight walkers and hikers finishing or joining the South Coast Track, with basic facilities including a toilet nearby but very little else. From the campsite, it’s only a short walk onto the wide sand and cobble beach below Lion Rock at one of the southernmost accessible points in Australia.
