Explore the rich history of the Valmingh Head Lighthouse that dates back to 1912, keep an eye out for migrating whales during whale season, and simply stop and take in the breath taking views that lay before your eyes. Continue to the edge of the lookout and you’ll be greeted with sights of ruins dating back to World War II. Just 17 kilometres outside of Exmouth, or a 14-hour trip from Perth, Vlamingh Head Lighthouse Scenic Drive offers once in a lifetime views.
