Visit guide
The short walk to the viewpoint
Broken Beach is experienced mainly from the cliff-top viewing area rather than a long trail. Allow about 45 to 60 minutes as a planning suggestion for arrival, orientation and photos from permitted areas.
What the path is like
Visitors reach the cliff rim and look down into the circular cove through the rock arch. The walking is short and mostly on the same headland that also serves Angel's Billabong a few minutes away by road.
How long to allow
Treat 45 to 60 minutes as a planning suggestion, not an official duration. Add travel time to and from your harbour or hotel, and confirm access and any closure on the day.
Pairs well with Angel's Billabong
Because Angel's Billabong is so close, many visitors combine the two in one stop. Keep their access rules separate, and do not assume a path between them is open or safe.
- Park once and walk between the two viewing areas if the local route is open.
- Carry water; shade and facilities are limited.
- Wear sturdy footwear for uneven limestone.
