This proposal for the Bluff Lighthouse National Park is intended to protect the Bluff formation and its unique species while keeping the area open for managed public access and recreation.

The scenic Lighthouse Trail and the picturesque Long Beach footpath will be preserved and enhanced for recreational and educational activities by residents, students and visitors, with the broader area kept in its natural state for current and future generations to enjoy.
