Flinders Blowhole

Flinders Blowhole is located along Flinders coastline overlooking the open ocean from a small lookout perched high on a headland above the rock shore. . A short steep track with numerous steps makes it way down from the carpark to the exposed shoreline.

There are plenty of rockpools to explore. Fishing is a popular activity along the rocky shoreline, due to the gutters, rip holes and rocky reefs that provide refuge to the vast marine life. The rocky shoreline attracts walkers and those keen to investigate the rock pools or view the blowhole in action at low tide.

Hooded Plovers call the sand above high tide on this beach home, so it is important to follow all signage and keep off the habitat area for this magnificent but vulnerable beach-nesting bird. Snakes are also another creature that calls this area home, so please stay on the existing paths to avoid any unnecessary encounters.

Although beautiful, Flinders Blowhole is a dangerous swimming beach with unpredictable rips, strong currents, rocky reefs, and large waves. The beach is unpatrolled with limited access for emergency services. Given the aforementioned hazards, swimming is not recommended.
