Known lovingly as The Prom, the national park forms a peninsula with a magnificent blend of landscapes: granite-studded hills meet white sand beaches, and fiery orange lichen boulders contrast with the brilliant turquoise waters. A place of fern gullies, windswept sand dunes and flourishing wildlife, there are few places you can feel more away from it all.

Take a relaxing amble through the Yinnar Community Gardens, filled with fruit trees, garden plots and sculptures and mosiac art.
