The Vlaming Head Lighthouse and Lookout provides magnificent views of the North West Cape and the Ningaloo Reef. Built in 1912 and now fully restored, this is Australia's only kerosene burning lighthouse.

Located 12 kilometres north of Exmouth on a sealed road, the lighthouse and lookout is accessable by car. From the lookout, fantastic sunsets and sweeping views of the Ningaloo Reef and North West Cape gives you an appreciation of the natural beauty of the area. Watch the local bird life soar past as you are on the same parallel with them; you may see Osprey or Sea Eagles in flight. 

Look out over the horizon and see the white spray of salt water coming from the "blow" of huge Humpback Whales as they surface for air, rounding the North West Cape on their annual migration to or from the area. At times, the whales can be seen close to shore when they breach the surface where the expanse of their body or tail fin can be identified amongst the spray. A coin operated binocular mounted at the lookout can provide unique sights of the Humback Whales.

Seperate tours of the Lighthouse can be arranged from the the Exmouth Visitor Centre
