The road to Conspicuous Cliffs is a couple of hundred metres further east from the end of the Valley of the Giants Road. As you come out of the Valley of the Giants car park, turn left and follow the road to the T-Junction at South Coast Highway. Turn left and a couple of hundred metres on you'll find a gravel road turning off to the right. Conspicuous Cliffs Road is all gravel and can be a bit bumpy. It is quite long and you'll need to follow the signs directing you to the cliffs. When you have parked your car, lock it (!) and walk towards the bushy hillside on your left. There is a path leading gently uphill. It can be negotiated by most people as the slope is gentle and there are seats at regular intervals. It is well worth the walk, as the views are pretty spectacular. It is, however, very windy. There are two lookouts: one looks over the bay and shows the almost vertical cliffs enclosing it, whilst the other looks down on the water pounding against the rocks and the cliffs below. If you prefer, th beach provides an energetic windy walk. To get to the beach, walk forward from the car park, following the path. For the experienced surfer, Conspicuous Cliffs provides a good surf, but the waves can be large and the rip strong, so only attempt surfing there if you are accompanied by an experienced lifesaver and you are an experienced swimmer and surfer.
