Cape Naturaliste is the northernmost point of the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge. 
You can explore the Cape Naturaliste coastal scenery by taking short walks along the boardwalks and lookouts, which include the Cape to Cape Track that runs between the Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse and Sugarloaf Rock. This is a world-class, levelled and bituminised trail that hikers of all abilities can tackle (including wheelchairs), and it includes 1 km of timber boardwalk. The view will take your breath away and is an incredible vantage point to spot whales between September to December.

A number of other trails from Cape Naturaliste are:

Cape Naturaliste loop - distance 3.8km

Whale Lookout walk - (return) distance 2.4km 

Cape Naturaliste track to Sugarloaf walk - (one way) distance 3.5km

We did the roughly 3.5 km Cape Naturaliste Loop and absolutely loved it. Beautiful coastal scenery, interesting limestone landscape and several whale sightings on 11 September. Funny enough, we actually saw more whales before reaching the official Whale Lookout than from the lookout itself! Definitely worth doing the whole loop rather than only visiting the lighthouse.
