Information

Monkey Rock is only slightly lower than Mount Hallowell to the north but offers spectacular views over William Bay National Park (west) and Ratcliffe Bay, Ocean Beach and Nullaki peninsula, home of Anvil Beach. Wilson Head marks the eastern perimeter of Ratcliffe Bay, stretching out into the Great Southern Ocean.
The 4 kilometre return walk from the car park is quite a climb, so come prepared.
The hike to Monkey Rock is along either the (old closed) vehicle access road or a footpath which winds through the trees to the peak of Monkey Rock. The path is part of the Bibbulmun Track.
Once you reach the pinnacle there is a pathway over the rocks with stairs to help on the difficult parts but kids will make it fine.
Monkey Rock is accessible from Lights Beach Road just a short drive east of Lights Beach, south-west of Denmark. The carpark is signed so you can't miss it.
