The Torndirrup National Park is home to a range of spectacular natural wonders, and is the most visited national park in Western Australia. The drive through Torndirrup is stunning and leads down to the rugged southern coastline.

Take a short walk to the famous Gap and Natural Bridge. Both have been formed over hundreds of years by the ocean eroding a large gap in one rock face and a natural arch in another. A twenty minute walk will lead you to the blowholes, a split in the rock where the waves force air out the top. If you can time your visit on a rough day you will hear an impressive roar resulting from the massive force of the water. Watch out for the spray that usually follows!

For the walking enthusiast, take one of the easily accessible bush walks through the park to see a plethora of stunning wildflowers in season. Alternatively for the more adventurous, take the medium grade coastal walk to Bald Head, the landmark that once guided explorers into King George Sound.

Torndirrup National Park is a fifteen minute drive from Albany, which is a four and a half hour drive southeast of Perth.
