A half hour drive from Exmouth, Cape Range is home to rugged limestone ranges, breathtaking deep canyons, and 50km of beaches. Covering 50,581 hectares, Cape Range offers a variety of attractions and activities, sure to please every visitor! 

Over 630 species of flowering plants have been recorded living on the peninsula, a surprisingly high number for such an arid, limestone area. Caves cover the park, with over 700 catalogued. Gorges and sanctuaries provide a haven for the wildlife and flora that inhabit the area. 

1. Mangrove Bay: This sanctuary zone area includes a bird hide overlooking a lagoon. A variety of birds roost in the lagoon at high tide. Through the summer months migratory birds can be seen.
2. Milyering Visitor Centre is located 52km from Exmouth. This is a great place to begin your trip into Cape Range. View interpretive displays, audio-visual facilities, and a library of information. National Park rangers are available to answer enquiries. 
3. Mandu Mandu Gorge:  A 3km walking trail brings you to this dry gorge. Starting at the end of the Mandu Mandu track, follow the gorges northern ridge, enjoying spectacular panoramic views. The trail heads into the creek bed, following the base of the gorge back to the car park.
4. Yardie Creek  was formed by hundreds of years of erosion, creating a multi-coloured gorge. A relatively easy walking trail will take you along the top of the northern wall, or hop on board a boat cruise. A colony of black-footed rock wallabies can often be spotted around the gorge.  
5. Shothole Canyon Road meanders over dry creek beds at the base of the gorge, offering close views of the canyons colourful rock layers. At the end of the 15km road is a picnic area and short walking trail.
6. Charles Knife Canyon, a great scenic drive.  This mostly gravel road follows the razor-backed ridges of the range, providing breathtaking views into the gorge. Several lookout points allow for great photo opportunities. 

Caution should be taken when bushwalking in the canyon areas as walls are steep and loose surfaces can be dangerous. Never go alone, and always let someone where you’re going. See Bush safety for more information. Cave areas are also unsafe due to lack of oxygen - for your own safety remain on the walking trails.  Always carry water as there is no surface water in Cape Range. There are many tour opportunities available daily.

Caravans and larger vehicles are welcome as well, however there are few facilities - no power, showers or cooking facilities. Many of the sites have toilets and picnic tables.
