Castle Rock rises out of the turquoise water with its smooth surface. You can climb it if you're keen for epic views!

There's a little beach below (Castle Beach) with all the amenities if you want to spend the day there, too.

Why it’s worth checking out:

• Climb the iconic rock for 360° coastal views

• Snorkel around the base (bring reef shoes)

• Surf or bodyboard when the swell rolls in

• Rock-fishing right from the platform

Know before going:

• No entry fees, open daylight hours only

• There’s no marked trail to the summit, so do it at your own risk

• Easy 2WD access
