Sugarloaf Rock

Sugarloaf Rock is a prominent granite formation located within Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park, approximately 2.7 kilometers from Cape Naturaliste Road via Sugarloaf Road. This iconic rock is a haven for nesting seabirds, including the geographically restricted red-tailed tropicbird. Visitors are advised not to attempt crossing to its rocky slopes, as the terrain is treacherous and the wildlife should be left undisturbed. The area around Sugarloaf Rock is part of the Ngari Capes Marine Park, where fishing is permitted. The site features a 1.3-meter wide bitumen path connecting the main parking area to the coastal lookout, which includes 39 steps and a steep section with a gradient ranging from 4.6 to 7.3 degrees. The parking area includes one accessible parking bay, and unisex accessible toilets are available at the far end of the parking area from the lookout. Entry to Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park is free, and dogs are not permitted on the premises.
