There is fantastic scenery with great views of Adamsons Peak and the mountains of the Southwest Wilderness. Not far away are the stunning Hastings Caves and Thermal Pool. The Ida Bay railway takes you on a trip through bushland to the beautiful beach of Deep Hole. From there you can hike to the Southport Lagoon conservation area. This is a bushwalkers haven with numerous walks ranging from easy to strenuous. A trip to historic Recherche Bay and Cockle Creek rewards nature lovers. Beautiful bays with crystal clear water and great views. At the end of the road begins the South Coast Track into the Wilderness. The four hour return day walk to South Cape Bay is a highlight.
