    Tips

    March 22, 2026

    Cape Schanck is a dramatic coastal headland where sheer basalt cliffs meet the powerful waters of Bass Strait and Western Port. There is a network of walking tracks and boardwalks that run across the windswept headland and down steep stairs to the rock platforms below, passing the iconic Cape Schanck Lighthouse. This area is known for its rugged geology, pounding surf, and expansive ocean views, and with the constantly shifting light and weather, it’s a wild and exposed spot where every visit is beautiful and unique.
