Point Peron

Point Peron is also known as Cape Peron. It is located at the extreme southern end of Cockburn Sound and has protected beaches, limestone cliffs, reefs and panoramic views.

The mainland end of the causeway to Garden Island is located within it's precincts.

During World War II, an observation post for the coastal battery was located on the hilltop, and the old buildings remain.

The wreck of the "SS Orizaba" (1886-1905) lies just north, between Garden Island and Point Peron.
