About Yalata & Head of Bight
Head of Bight sits at the edge of the Nullarbor Plain, where towering limestone cliffs plunge into the Southern Ocean. This remote outpost is famous for Southern Right Whale watching between May and October, when whales migrate through these waters to calve and nurse their young. The visitor centre is your gateway to one of Australia's most dramatic coastal landscapes.
Walks & Trails
The Whale viewing boardwalk is right at your doorstep, offering accessible views across the cliffs and ocean. If you're keen for a longer hike, Closed for Regeneration is available 54km away for those exploring deeper into the Nullarbor.
Golf
Nullarbor Links 'Dingos Den' is located 23km away, offering a unique outback golfing experience on the plains.
Pubs & Dining
The Nullarbor Roadhouse is 23km distant and serves as the main refueling stop for travellers crossing this vast region. Stock up on supplies and meals before or after exploring Head of Bight.
When to Visit
May to October is whale season—the best time to see Southern Right Whales from the boardwalk. The visitor centre extends its hours during winter months (June–October, 8am–5pm) to accommodate peak whale-watching traffic.
