Anderson and Whalers Points are two adjoining, 30 m high bluffs, located 1 km north of Portland Harbour. Whalers Point Lighthouse stands 41 m above sea level and was built in 1859. Along the base of the bluffs are two narrow, low beaches. The beaches are often awash at high tide with waves reaching the bluffs. Along Whalers Bluff, a seawall has been built on the beach to protect the bluff from erosion. Both beaches receive waves averaging about 1 m, which break over a shallow, attached bar. Some rocks and reefs are present off the beaches. There is a reserve and car park on Anderson Point, and houses on Whalers Point. It is a steep descent to both beaches. Whalers Point Beach is also accessible around the rocks from Nunns Beach. read more
