Cable Beach
Torndirrup National Park in the
Albany Region of Western Australia
In the middle of the beach is a giant boulder which was lifted by the force of the waves and placed onto the stones.

Looking at this boulder sitting in the middle of Cable Beach, again we were reminded of the power of the Southern Ocean. This coastline faces open southern waters and frequent 'king waves' buffet the coastline. BE VERY CAREFUL when visiting Cable Beach. Do not underestimate the power of the ocean. Remember, your safety is your responsibility.

Cable Beach is accessible only by a descent which may also be referred to as a bit of a hike! The staircase descends from the carpark onto the rocky bolders which continue for at least twice as long as the stairs down onto the beach. Watch the videos below for a snippet of what the access to Cable Beach is like.
