From the Neck Campground, follow the sandy track out to the wild Neck Beach, which looks is a magnificent more than 10km long sandy beach which looks out across Adventure Bay and to the Tasman Sea. From the beach, head south, walking for 2km or so to the end of the neck beach and then up onto Blighs Rocks, which are best explored at half tide or lower. Bligh’s Rocks are fascinating little place to explore, with rock pools full of anemone, with the surging sea swells crashing up against the ledge of the Rock formations and kelp providing home to leatherjacket, wrasse and other fishes that you can sometimes see even from the rocks if the water is clear. The Bligh Rocks themselves form fascinating tessellated formations and provide stunning views to Cape Queen Elizabeth to the north and Fluted Cape to the south.
