Tours
Cape Schanck Lightstation (with fully functioning beacon) offers visitors a unique glimpse of the past. The historic light is one of the few still operating as it did during the early 1800's. The Lightstation is open every day of the year for tours up the lighthouse or in the museum.

Lightkeepers Basket
Lunch or dinner with local produce can be supplied for a picnic.

Evening Barbecues
During the summer months groups can have an evening meal served in the old carriage stables and  view the magnificent sunset.

Activities
You might like to take the boardwalk for breathtaking ocean views. Explore the secret places at Cape Schanck, or unwind with a glass of wine while the sun disappears. The following morning pack a picnic lunch and head off to Bushrangers Bay.

While you’re enjoying the tranquillity of this special place you may see kangaroos in the hills, or see a Great Southern Right Whale surface to say hello along with the seals and dolphins.

A walk to Fingal Beach taking in some magical views or if you have more energy, you can also walk the cliff tops to Gunamatta Surf Beach. You can go rock climbing, perhaps go diving or snorkelling, the rock pools at the bottom of the Board walk are spectacular.
