Cape Bridgewater is a remnant of a volcanic crater overlain by pleistocene sandy limestones and holocene dunes. It lies west of Portland, looking back east to Cape Nelson across Bridgewater bay, with many interesting features. We visitied on a day trip from Portland, dodging a little rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From just up the hill from Bridgewater Bay Cafe a coastal track follows the cliffline and climbs up the 130m high cape. On the rock platforms below the cape are two seal colonies, one Australian and the other New Zealand fur seals. They can be seen on the rock platforms and playing in the waves off the cape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The walk is a few kilometer each way. We had lunch perched on the end of the Cape and then heade dback for a coffe at the cafe (just as the rain hit). Allow a couple of hours to enjoy the walk.<\/p>\n\n\n
