The Northcliffe Environment

The people of Northcliffe feel strongly about their surrounding natural environment and see nature based tourism as one of its new activities.

The forests, rivers, coastal heath, sand dunes and coastline can be enjoyed at leisure, in peace and throughout the year. There are many favourite places to visit and many more to discover for yourself. The wild flowers, birds and fauna add delight to any visit.

If you need to get away from the hustle and noise of modern city life then Northcliffe is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the natural world. Enjoy the clean air, fresh rain water and clear night skies awash with stars.

Try a walk through the karri forest in sun or rain, or in the early evening light and you will feel the heart of something very special.
