The Pinnacles is another favourite location in North Ben Boyd National Park.
The Pinnacles is a formation which dates back some 65 million years when the soft white sand and its cap of red clay laid the foundations for the subsequent feature which now exists. Viewers can appreciate the beauty of the formation from the opposing cliff.
Other popular sites within the Park include Severs Beach for Aboriginal Relics and Haycock Point which features large rock formations
