About Gull Rock National Park
Gull Rock National Park is a small coastal national park located about 25 kilometres east of Albany in Western Australia's Great Southern region. Established in 2006, it protects 2,104 hectares of coastal heath, granite headlands and beaches along King George Sound. The park is notable for Gull Rock, Mount Taylor, diverse wildflowers and birdlife, and its relatively undeveloped natural landscape offering views across the sound and nearby islands.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a quiet, largely undeveloped coastal park with low heathland, granite outcrops, sandy beaches and views over King George Sound to Michaelmas and Breaksea Islands. The park has informal walking tracks including the Mount Taylor summit walk, coastal lookouts, and beach access at areas such as Boiler Bay. There are no built visitor facilities beyond a car park and tracks. The environment is natural and exposed, with seasonal wildflowers, birdlife and coastal scenery.
