18 KM
Grade B
Nestled on the north coast between the imposing giants of Whiten Head and Strathy Point, Farr Point provides a rugged beauty and charm of its own. Less committing than other headlands on this coast it provides an amazing day out along a very remote section of coastline that many a paddler could enjoy on the right day. Cliffs and sandy beaches all around with views to islands and dramatic headlands make for a great day out.
