Cape Buffon Walk — Attraction in Southend

The Cape Buffon walk is an easy 2.5 km loop in Canunda National Park. You can either park at Vape Buffon carpark or Tainbow Rocks (though there are only 3 parking spots at the latter and definitely not suited to larger vehicles incl caravans). The walk shows how wind and waves have shaped the rugged limestone coast, creating featured like limestone cliffs, seastacks, and reef platforms. You can also see solution holes in the rocks, which were originally formed by acid from decaying tree roots and are now enlarged by the ongoing action of seawater and salt spray. Really fascinating to see. Sturdy shoes are recommended and as it's pretty exposed avoid the heat...

Southend is such an amazing small coastal town! You can see why these limestone formations are referred to as Rainbow Rocks located on the Cape Buffon walking trail. Thee colours are just magical in contrast to the beautiful turquoise water below. The Cape Buffon walk is fairly easy and make sure you take your time soaking it all in, this place is a hidden gem!
