The lookout provides a breathtaking view of the harbour and great southern ocean. The turquoise waters are a stunning contrast to the green heathland and boulders surrounding the harbour.

There is some controversy about the name of the harbour. There are two 'sides' to the issue: one claiming that the name is Jimmy Newel's Harbour (referring to a lime burner who worked in the area), the other claims it is Jimmy Newells Harbour named after a seaman who took shelter in the harbour after a storm.

Either way, it's a beautiful place to visit while you are exploring the National Parks.
