Surging swells crash against the rugged cliffs at Rocky Point, a nub of land jutting into the water on Norfolk Island’s southwest coast. With the relentless roar of the ocean, seabirds circling overhead and vast horizons in the distance, it’s a place that feels wild and free. For nature lovers, a visit here is a must.

To get to Rocky Point, follow the walking trails of Hundred Acres Reserve. It’s birding heaven at the point, with white-capped noddies and white terns nesting on tree branches, and red-tailed tropicbirds raising fluffy chicks in ground hollows. Tread with care to avoid disturbing them.
