The Blowholes can be accessed via a 800m walk along a trail from the car-park on Blowholes Rd. The granite rock has a large crackline through which the ocean swell underneath shoots a visible spray high into the air along with an audible sound. This popular natural attraction in Torndirrup National Park is best enjoyed on stormy days with a high swell, but the views of the surf and rugged coastline at this location is inspiring even on a calm day.
If you're up for a challenge, you'll also find an Australian penny hidden at the precise location indicated by the coordinates (please do not try to remove the penny, but leave it for others to enjoy finding as well) - it is in plain view, you just need to look in the right spot to find it!
