Tucked away on the coastal side of Cape Range National Park, 50 minutes from RAC Exmouth Cape Holiday Park, Mandu Mandu Gorge offers a moderately challenging 3-kilometre loop trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hike begins with a walk along a dry riverbed, its white, water-smoothed pebbles contrasting with the ochre-hued cliffs. As you ascend the gorge cliff face, you\u2019ll be rewarded at the top with panoramic views of the sparkling blue Indian Ocean in the distance and the ancient creek bed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With little to no shade along the trail, it\u2019s best to start your hike in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday heat. Along the way, keep your eyes peeled for black-flanked rock wallabies and ospreys circling overhead. The uneven terrain makes sturdy footwear essential, and as there are no facilities at the site, ensure you bring plenty of water, sun protection, and snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After your hike, cool off with a swim at the nearby Oyster Stacks, a fantastic snorkelling spot, or head ten minutes further south to Sandy Bay, where calm, turquoise waters and white sandy shores await.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
