On the far eastern edge of Victoria, you will find the picture-perfect, azure waters and mesmerising rock pools of Pearl Point.

Pearl Point, on the eastern edge of the Cape Conran Coastal Park, is an Insta-worthy spot for experienced surfers. The waves at this little beach are not for the faint of heart, so it's recommended for people who have been hanging ten for at least a few years.

If you aren't a surfer, there's something for you, too – wander along the rock formations and peer into the pools, or laze on the picture-perfect beach.

For those looking for more active pursuits, you can walk from Pearl Point to Dock Inlet (3.6km), then Dock Inlet along the coast to Cape Conran is a further 10km.
