Whale Watching At Head Of Bight
Head of Bight is on South Australia's remote far West Coast is famous for its land based viewing of the magnificent Southern Right Whales.
Other species occasionally seen from the viewing platforms include Australian Sea lions and the Great White Shark. The location provides views of the Bunda Cliffs to the west and giant sand dunes and long beaches to the east.
Whales are seen between May and October. Southern Right Whales migrate from Antarctica to these warmer waters during winter to breed.
Head of Bight is located adjacent to the Yalata Indigenous Protected Area. The land management priorities for this area are for conservation and maintenance of biodiversity, in addition to the sustainability of indigenous culture. The area is of cultural significance to Anangu and Wirangu people and other Aboriginal communities. It contains the traditional waterhole and meeting place called Illcumba.
Head of Bight Car park (depending on where you park) can be up to 300 metres from the boardwalk. Entrance is through the Interpretive Centre to the Boardwalk and onto the viewing platform. This area is wheelchair accessible right from the car park to the viewing platform. Wheelchairs are available from the Interpretive Centre free of charge.
