Here you can wander freely among the ruins of the Saltwater River convict station, with its cramped and gloomy underground cells. Nearby there are walks on the beaches and through the coastal heathlands of Lime Bay, where wildflowers are prolific in summer. Lime Bay has a camping area with basic facilities. Turn right off the Arthur Highway (A11) at Taranna, then turn right at Premaydena towards Saltwater River. The convict station ruins are about 20 km from the highway at Taranna.
