Elephant Cove (below) is accessed
via a staircase which descends between the rocks and ends in a beach
crevasse allowing you to walk onto the beach. See the video
below for the lower half of the staircase walk.
This beach has a sacred feel to it, perhaps because it is rumoured
to have been an aboriginal birthing place over the centuries.
Remember, the Great Southern Ocean coastline is
prone to surges, so be extremely aware when climbing or walking
close to the waterline.
The beach at Greens Pool
is protected by the lines of rocks out to sea and are a perfect
place to swim. Follow the track west a few hundred yards to Greens
Pool.
