The Gap is a very impressive wind and rain eroded cutting in a 60 metre vertical cliff face that is well worth visiting while you're in the park. Over a period of thousands of years the forces of storm and wave action have eroded the crumbling cliff.

Visitors may view The Gap from the safety of a 2 metre high fence. From this vantage point many layers of rocks can be seen in the cliff face, indicating changing sea levels and weather patterns over many years.
