Located 20km south of Albany in Torndirrup National Park, this pristine 200-meter beach features crystal-clear waters and white sand, framed by dramatic granite outcrops. Despite its grim name (from its former whaling station history), it’s now one of Australia’s most beautiful beaches, offering protected swimming and stunning views of Frenchman’s Bay.
Stand-Out Feature:
The sheltered, north-facing cove provides calm waters perfect for swimming, snorkelling, and paddling. Lucky visitors might spot dolphins, seals, or migrating humpback whales during autumn months.
Top Tip:
The beach is not patrolled, so swim within your abilities. Access requires walking down several steps on an unsealed trail. Pack plenty of water, sunscreen, and snacks as there are no facilities on-site. Best visited during calmer weather for the safest swimming conditions.
