From the Parks and Wildlife page: "Point D’Entrecasteaux was named after the French navigator Antoine de Bruni D’Entrecasteaux who sighted the point on his way to Cape Leeuwin in 1792.
D’Entrecasteaux Drive is a sealed, scenic drive which shows off the impressive coastline and surrounding karri forest. The spectacular views of the rugged southern coastline is a rewarding surprise. Stand on a viewing platform high up on the cliffs for a magnificent view, then take one of the walk trails to further explore this rugged coastline.
A whale watching platform is set high on the limestone cliff at Tookulup providing unbeatable views of the southern coastline and limestone cliffs. The best time for whale watching is September to June.
This is one of the few places you can access the coast by two-wheel drive vehicle. It offers something for everyone – beaches, a choice of walk trails, a scenic drive and several spectacular lookout points. Point D’Entrecasteaux is a hub for walking opportunities and the walks all have spectacular ocean views".
