Information

Rainbow Cliff (Banambarrnja) near Nhulunbuy. The top of the cliff is a Sacred Site and access is not permitted.

Ba?ambarr?a is a sheer section of coastline where the exposed and weathered rock profile produces a striking colourful effect on the cliff face as it plunges over 40 meters into the sea, giving it the nick name Rainbow Cliff. Open forest runs to the top of the cliff and a small tidal creek winds through a mangrove community to spill into the sea at its western end, where there is easy access to a sandy beach.
