Attractions

Description

Bay from which the limestone for the nearby Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse was quarried.

At the south end of the bay, limestone was hewn for the blocks used to build the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse. The many small chips of stone which can be found at the base of the cliff, residue of this quarrying activity, are already well cemented together after only 100 years.
