Cape Hawke Harbour
Named by Captain Cook in 1770 to honour Edward Hawke, First Lord of the Admiralty, this estuary carries real historical weight. You anchor off here and the surrounding waters are known for great fishing — flathead, bream, and Japanese meagre are all in the mix. There's a quiet, unhurried feel to the place, and Bennetts Head Lookout nearby holds a plaque commemorating those lost at sea off the cape.
