Named Steyle Hock but Willem de Vlamingh in 1697, the English translation is Steep Point. The most westerly  point of mainland Australia, Steep Point is a popular fishing destination as well as for those seeking to visit each of the extreme cardinal points of the continent.  More than 900km from Perth, it is located within the Shark Bay World Heritage Area and is renowned for some of the best land based fishing anywhere in the world. The rugged coastline, with its sheer cliffs, would have presented an almost impenetrable obstacle for early seagoing explorers who had been blown off course.

This is a National Park and you will either need to have a Park’s Pass or pay for your stay.
