Middleton Beach and Middleton Bay are located only five minutes drive (4 KMS) to the east of Albany City Centre.

Middleton Beach is the closest to Albany town centre, and has become one of the most popular beaches. Sheltered from the waves by the King George Sound it is ideal for swimming and snorkeling. There is a platform out in the bay for jumping into the water.

Middleton Beach is a very popular and social beach where people of all ages can find a place to relax in the shade of the trees. There are toilets, showers, telephones, a children's playground, cafe' and restaurant and numerous other places to eat and relax. There is also a delightful terraced area where you can picnic in the shade overlooking the beach.

Emu Point Beach

A boardwalk climbs the hill to the south, with views over the King George Sound and Middleton Bay. Click here to see an Albany Beaches Map - zoom in to see the beach. We were walking up along the boardwalk, from Middleton Beach in January and recorded this for you.

Middleton Beach provides an easily accessible location for viewing Southern Right and Humpback whales during their annual migration to the Southern Ocean. Whales enter the bay to rest and can sometimes be seen as close as 20-30 metres from the shore or frolicking out in the deeper waters of the bay. (*Wikipedia)

In the early years of Albany's settlement, Middleton Beach provided a handy spot to off-load supplies and stock onto shore as some of the larger boats could not navigate the entrance into Princess Royal Harbour (the main port). (*Wikipedia)
