Salmon Holes Lookout
A beautiful but treacherous beach. The view from the lookout above Salmon Holes is one of the most photographed views on the Torndirrup Peninsula.
A beautiful bay with a beach enclosed by a tall, steep slope of granite and heath-covered dunes. Salmon Holes is located at the western end of Isthmus Bay, ending at Bald Head.
Salmon Holes is located in Torndirrup National Park along the northern end of Isthmus Bay. Salmon Holes beach is reached by descending a winding stairway from the lookout, just a short walk from the car park.
Salmon Holes is named after the salmon that come to rest in the bays and is an excellent fishing beach in season, and one of the best beach fishing locations along the coast.
Misery Beach
A small, secluded and very beautiful north-facing beach, offering shelter even in the worst weather conditions and great for swimming, snorkelling, surfing and fishing.
Misery Beach was recently crowned Australia’s best beach by Tourism Australia’s Beach Ambassador, Brad Farmer. Once best known for its proximity to Albany’s historic whaling station (the township is just 20 kilometres away) this peaceful paradise captivates with its immense beauty.
At 200 metres long, this compact stretch of beach is utterly compelling, offering the opportunity to experience a range of outdoor activities while surrounded by stunning natural beauty.
Swim, surf or snorkel clear turquoise waters, or spend the afternoon fishing. Laze on pristine white sands shielded by a dramatic granite backdrop, or explore this secluded sanctuary on a barefoot beach walk.
Frenchman Bay
Located on the southern side of King George Sound this beautiful setting has a grassy picnic area, BBQs and boat launch. Ideal beachfront location for a great day out!
The Flinders Peninsula keeps the waters of Frenchman Bay calms and practically wave-less throughout the milder months and is a great location for starting a walk or hike out onto the peninsula.
Frenchman Bay has a beautiful picnic area with barbecues as well as a boat launch – ideal for a relaxing, eating, and having quiet day out.
Goode Beach
When in Albany, make sure you visit the lovely Goode Beach. Nestled in the King George Sound it is surrounded by numerous islands and enjoys views out to Mount Manypeaks.
Goode Beach has several popular walk trails to explore the surrounding coastline. Enjoy the views of Princess Royal Harbour and the historic town of Albany from the lookouts near the beach.
The stunning southern coast line provides opportunities to see the sunrise over the ocean, which is rare in Western Australia. With its sheltered location, calm inviting waters and pristine soft white sandy beach it is a great spot for a day in the sun.
Build sand castles on the beach with the children, or for the more energetic take advantage of the great conditions for windsurfing out on the water.
