You can drive up to a Parking spot further up the road and walk right up to the shore and down to the white cliffs. They are amazing and very obscure 🙂

You can also park at the north end of the peninsula loop, look for the gravel track going off to the right just back from where the electricity lines cross the sealed road. There’s a car park at the bottom by the trees.
Also keep an eye out for the climbing rabbits, we saw one clinging on, then running up the last metre of the sheer cliff face of the bluffs.
A good day out away from the tourist madness of the Church, would be a great place for kayaking as well.
