Norfolk Island Coastline

In a previous post I looked at the beaches of Norfolk Island, and here I’m focussing on the coastline in general, as from nearly every vantage point the coastline changes!

Here is the northern coastline view from the Captain Cook monument lookout:

There is such a lot of historical happenings on this island, and the locals have definitely captured that and kept it alive, which is wonderful.  The monument where this view is from gives you the historical significance of the site and is incredibly serene.  Definitely need a polarising filter though!

Here is probably my favourite photographic location on the island - Anson Bay.  I just loved this place.  The view from the top of the hill, walking down and once at the bottom - every angle is beautiful.  The crystal clear water makes the coast look less menacing - almost serene…

Finally, this was taken near Point Howe and really shows how rugged some of the coastline can be.

There are actually only two places on the island that a large boat can moor and offload supplies - Kingston Pier and Cascade Pier.  They are on different sides of the angle, so it depends on the wind and how rough the waters are.  Just an incredible island to explore!
