Shelley Beach Lookout
West Cape Howe National Park

Shelley Beach Lookout facing Albany Windfarm, West Cape Howe

Shelley Beach from the Lookout, West Cape Howe

Hang Glider

Shelley Beach Lookout is amazing as you can see far across Torbay into the Great Southern Ocean as well as get a wonderful view of Shelley Beach itself.

Shelley Beach Lookout is also cool because it is from here where people FLY. You can also get a wonderful view of Torbay Head in the distance, the most Southern Point in Western Australia (photo above).

Two solid, large wooden platform ramps lead off into the air from the lookout. Purpose built for hang gliding and paragliding.

Tips & Park Information

DANGER:	The Great Southern Ocean is unpredictable, sending surges even at calm times. BE AWARE when close to the water. Read the information on SURGES before visiting the park and ALWAYS watch the water. Stay clear of rocks and cliff edges by the coast.
