It is a pleasant way to experience the coast around Steels Beach. Scamander to St Helens Point To the north of the town is the beautiful St Helens Point Conservation Area and Scamader Conservation Area - they are characterised by heavily timbered sand dunes and beautiful clean beaches.
From Scamander River to St Helens Point is a seemingly endless white beach with pristine aquamarine waters where there are two outstanding walks. Near the Scamander Conservation Area, at the southern end of the beach, there are important First Nation middens comprising mussel shells, abalone, rock whelk and warrener as well as evidence of seals, kangaroos and wallabies as part of the indigenous diet. Falmouth's Blowhole and the Coast There are blowholes where the sea is forced through an aperture and there are lesser blowholes which are actually nothing more than a fissure in the rocks.
The Falmouth blowholes, which are located just beyond Howitt Street, which is the most north-easterly street in the tiny town, are large fissures in the rocks where the waves, when they break, cause plumes of spray to rise into the air.
To get to the blowhole the visitor needs to walk north along the cliffs. The walk is pleasant with the rocks tumbling down towards the sea and the bedding of the rocks being cut by narrow fissures. The views from the northern end of the town are excellent and near the blowhole it is possible to see the beach which lies to the north across Henderson Lagoon. Park at the end of Howitt Street and walk towards the low lying cliffs.
In , just after it had been built, the Launceston Examiner visited the house and wrote: "On a gentle slope, about a half mile from the sea, stands the mansion of our host, known as Thompson Villa. The exterior of the building produces a highly picturesque and pleasing effect. The style is Italian, with projecting roof. The principal rooms open onto a wide veranda, the design of which, as also the balcony, is decidedly ornamental.
The interior fittings are of the best character, the entrance hall being divided by Corinthian fluted columns, with pilasters and Corinthian cornice; and well lighted up by a beautiful ornamental stained glass window, which I recognised as the handiwork of our enterprising fellow colonists, Messrs. Ferguson, Urie and Lyon, of North Melbourne. The property is currently owned by Enstone Park Pastoral Company. It is not open to the public.
