The Frenchman's Rock Penneshaw is really attractive. However, the French landed here first and their captain wrote his name on a rock. They also built some structures. Beautiful!
6. Reeves Point Historical Site
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 7 reviews
Reviewed By susanwA181LR - Stirling, Australia
It's a walking trail which will take you to beautiful spots. The old cemetery is so interesting and gives you the history of KI on the grave stones. It was a walk up to the monument but well worth it with beautiful views.
7. Wiers Cove
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 9 reviews
Reviewed By robbygc - Toronto, Canada
We walked to the Wiers Cove. The road was unsealed. It was fun. The first thing we saw were the ruins. This is where the light keepers slept. They also received their supplies from 1907-1930. It was quite lonely here. The best part of this trek was the lookout on the ocean and partially the island as well. We stood there for 15 minutes, enjoying everything in our view. What a great place this is!
