Baie du Cap is the last village before the coast road climbs over the cliffs at Macondé. Its bay has a small beach, fishing boats and a relaxed local feel, with the green hills of the south-west behind.
It's a good stop on a south-coast drive: the Matthew Flinders monument stands on the point, and Macondé viewpoint is two minutes away.
