I like this spot. Amazing view on a nice day.
The gold here is it's proximity to the sprawling Ohau Point seal colony. Unlike the main seal colony carpark, just down the road, this one has access to the coastline. So you can wander down to your own private rocky nook / little chill zone, often by a seal or two. We did this with just one other group around. While the main Ohau Colony Carpark was pretty busy.
So it's actually a great stop over point during the day.
We didn't stay the night and it didn't feel like an extended chill out by the Campervan type place. There's road noise, being so close to the main state highway. But still fine for a late in the day park up and leaving again in the morning.
No toilets or shelter / shade.
