About Remarkable Rocks
Remarkable Rocks is a cluster of large granite boulders perched on a granite dome above the sea in Flinders Chase National Park on the southwest coast of Kangaroo Island, South Australia. Formed from granite dating back about 500 million years and sculpted by wind, rain and sea spray over millennia, the rocks are an iconic natural landmark known for their dramatic shapes, golden-orange lichen and panoramic Southern Ocean views.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a dramatic coastal granite outcrop with massive weathered boulders balanced on a domed headland overlooking the Southern Ocean. A sealed boardwalk and viewing platform lead from the car park to the rocks, allowing close viewing and photography. The site is exposed with no shade, surrounded by coastal heath and ocean cliffs, with interpretive signage explaining geology and opportunities for sightseeing and wildlife spotting within Flinders Chase National Park.
