Steep Point

Steep Point is the westernmost point of mainland Australia, located on the Edel Land Peninsula in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area, Western Australia. It is renowned for its dramatic limestone cliffs rising up to 170 metres above the Indian Ocean, remote wilderness setting and views across to Dirk Hartog Island. Accessible only by high-clearance four-wheel drive, it is a celebrated destination for fishing, camping and sightseeing.

Visitors can expect a remote, rugged coastal headland with sheer white cliffs, expansive ocean views and a windswept natural environment. There are no shops or developed infrastructure. The area offers cliff-top lookouts over the Indian Ocean and Dirk Hartog Island, sandy 4WD tracks, and basic bush camping areas. The experience is isolated and self-sufficient, focused on sightseeing, photography and shore-based fishing.
