Follow the ridgeline higher and higher through open bushland and watch the water views across Storm Bay and North West Bay get better and better. The whole of Tinderbox Peninsula contains important white gum forest, which is a critical habitat for the threatened Forty-spotted Pardalote. Dogs are prohibited from July to March due to Wedge-tailed eagle nesting season. Dogs are restricted to on lead and on formed tracks only from April to June.

Fossil Cove is one of those little gems you wish you had discovered earlier. It is a short walk for a great reward. The track leads down some steep steps through light bushland to the gorgeous cove with views across to the Iron Pot lighthouse. The cove is flanked by a large rock archway on one side and a fascinating fossil-filled wave-cut platform on the other – both can be safely explored at low tide. Snorkelling is popular amongst the kelp beds around the shoreline, although be sure to do this in fine weather.
