Information

A lighthouse and WW2 radar station relic are on the hill behind the headland. The lookout at the base of Vlamingh Head Lighthouse offers one of the best ocean views on the Ningaloo coast. A full panorama of the tip of North West Cape can be enjoyed here, including the Harold E Holt Communications Station VLF towers, Muiron Islands, offshore oilrigs, Ningaloo Reef and the township of Exmouth. Vlamingh Head is also a favourite place for visitors to watch the sun set over the sea or spot humpback whales during their annual migration from June to November.
