Well worth spending a day checking out this NP. Just out of town - it’s rugged, beautiful and packs a real punch. So easy to access.

What a lovely area to explore. I just wish I had more time. This part of our trip was a highlight for me and had discovered a lovely walk that I had earmarked whe I first researched the Albany district. Lots of touristy things to see, but one strange one was the “blowhole”. I bit of a walk, not much, but too much for some people as it was quite a bit of elevation involved, but coming from Sydney, when they mentioned blowhole, I was expecting water to be blowing out of the rocks somewhere. But this was more like breathing rocks. Quite interesting to me, but not everyone’s cup of tea. My highlight was the walk out to Bald Hill. 13kms in total
With about 600m elevation, but they are definitely going to a lot of trouble upgrading the track to plastic boardwalk (which is annoying if you like to use poles) .
Highly recommend visiting, but I just wish the rangers were more prevalent as so many people did not pay their park fees.

How do you show a National Park by the rugged coastline. Torndirrup has constructed a spectacular overhang where you can see and hear the waves crashing into the rocks below. There is also some interesting narrative.

The native vegetation is pristine in this park. On the walk to the blowholes we took so many photos of flowering plants which are endemic to the area. By keeping people to walkways the native plants and vegetation is not eroded like in some parks. Fantastic to see.

You should allow a few hours when visiting the park to make sure you see all its highlights. It's also great for short walks as well as longer hikes.

Torndirrup National Park is a succession of promontories, with granite cliffs and white beaches, overlooking the ocean. This eternal struggle between the force of the sea and the wind against the hardness of the granite has given rise to impressive rock formations that characterize the coastal front of this small but very beautiful national park. Located about 10km south of Albany, Torndirrup National Park can be reached by proceeding along Frenchman Bay Rd. We made the first stop at The Gap and Natural Bridge, perhaps the most famous point in the park. The Gap Road leads to a large car park from which a short and easy solid path, which can also be used by wheelchairs, leads to both lookouts. The visit of the Natural Bridge, a large arch of rock under which the ocean wave breaks, and The Gap, where the wave of the sea grows by slipping into the inlet and breaks with power on the rocks, is certainly fascinating but takes little time. Going back for approximately 500m on The Gap Rd there is a small side road that leads to Cable Beach and to Cave Point Lighthouse. Cable Beach is very beautiful, but it can be enough to see it from the car park because the several rocks on the seafront and the high waves make it less suitable for bathing than the other beaches of this area. The road to the lighthouse is closed by a gate. The next visit could be the Blowholes which we skipped to save time and because everyone we talked to considered they were not very interesting. Very nice is certainly the Bald Head Walk Trail whose small car park can be reached by taking the road to Misery Beach. This trail that goes up and down for about 12.5km return on the ridge of the Flinders Peninsula until it reaches Bald Head is certainly a source of breathtaking views and photographic opportunities but must be well planned for both the length and the required physical effort. Starting late from the car park under the strong sun leads, as happened to us, to make it impossible to complete the trail, thus losing the opportunity to see the final part of it. Obviously in the national park there are other beaches such as Misery Beach and Salmon Beach and other lookouts that can be visited according to the time available. Surely the visit to the Torndirrup National Park is extremely interesting and beautiful and to be included in the activity by anyone who visits Albany.

You must visit the Torndirrup National Park, which is very close to the town and provides a stretch of stunning wild seascape with access to The Gap, Natural Bridge, Windfarm etc. Very wild and impressive, particularly on the stormy morning we visited. Don't leave Albany without visiting this spectacular area

The Southern Ocean is one of the world's most tumultuous stretches of water. The rough-hewn granite coast is quite spectacular. Torndirrup National Park is easily accessible from Albany, the regional city on the south coast of Western Australia. The Park is 10 km (6 miles) south from Albany. The Gap and the Natural Bridge are a surprise worth seeing. When the sea is running, the Blow Holes are a memorable sight that stuns visitors. Torndirrup National Park is a must-see in Albany.
