Point Annie is a 20 m high granite point and reef on the southwestern Yorke Peninsula, where the Southern Ocean meets a rugged shoreline of boulders, rock platforms, and offshore reef patches. The protected rocky bays offer clear waters with granite boulder gardens, sponge-encrusted ledges, and gutters to explore. Best visited on calm days with light northerly winds, this exposed headland provides a wild, off-the-beaten-path snorkel experience rich with temperate reef life and the possibility of encountering sea lions and dolphins in the surrounding waters.
