Bald Head

Bald Head is a prominent granite headland at the eastern end of Torndirrup National Park near Albany in Western Australia's Great Southern region. Formed by ancient granite and limestone, it is accessed via the challenging Bald Head Walk Trail. The headland is notable for its bare, rounded dome, dramatic coastal cliffs, and panoramic views over King George Sound, Flinders Peninsula and the Southern Ocean, making it a key natural landmark of the Albany coastline.

Visitors can expect a remote, exposed coastal headland reached only on foot via the Bald Head Walk Trail (12.4 km return). The trail traverses limestone ridges, coastal heath and granite slopes to a rounded, largely vegetation-free dome with 360-degree views over King George Sound, Flinders Peninsula and the Southern Ocean. There are no buildings or shops at the headland itself; the experience is natural, rugged and dominated by cliffs, ocean swells and windswept vegetation.
