Located south-west of Denmark along Lights Road, Lights Beach is halfway along Lights Road which is accessible from the South Coast Highway or Ocean Beach Road. See the map of Denmark and surrounds to get your bearings.
Lights Beach is actually three beaches accessible from one single location. The eastern beach has a unique ocean-waterfall with waves crashing into Princess Pool and coursing down the waterfall onto the beach. Ideal for paddling.
The centre beach has large waves and is not suitable for swimming but gives a fantastic view of William Bay and the Southern Ocean. The western beach has an offshore island and connects to William Bay National Park. |

The carpark and beach at Lights Beach
|
  |
The Lights Beach Lookout at the carpark is inspiring with a paved walkway heading west along the ridge behind the beach offering spectacular views of the beach and heathland. Lights Beach is an amazing place to watch waves as the beach is open to the power of the Great Southern Ocean.
Descend the gradual pathway onto the Beach for beachwalks and to traverse the rocks to Lights Beach east and visit Princess Pool. |

Lights Beach (East) |
 |
| Lights Beach (east) is one of our personal favourite locations on the south coast. This beach has something for everyone and includes some amazing natural features.
From the staircase there are spectacular views towards Wilson Head and the Denmark Community Windfarm turbines on the headland.
At the base of the stairs there is an ocean waterfall which cascades from a pool which constantly refills from the large waves which crash and fill the pool. This is known as Princess Pool and is a beutiful wading pool at medium or low tide. Hiking gear required as this is a long-distance trail.

 |
 |
 The crashing waves fill Princess Pool which then cascades down a waterfall onto Lights Beach East. |
 This rock is sometimes twenty metres tall when exposed by the waves of Lights Beach East. |
 |
| |
Lights Beach (West) |
 |
 |
Lights Beach (west) connects to William Bay National Park and the Bibbulmun Track passes directly across the beach leading toward Tower Hill. All year round there is a small stream coming from the surrounding countryside and coursing across the beach. Its tea-coloured waters are due to the tea-tree leaves which stain the water a beautiful orange-red hue.
|
| There are large rock formations connecting with this end of the beach with sea-loving wildflowers, crabs and other rock-loving creatures. |
This is a popular destination as the beach offers great views of nearby William Bay. Elephant Rocks can even be seen in the distance on a clear day. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Taking the Bibbulmun Track from Lights Beach West to the west leads past Waterfall Beach and Madfish Bay then across the hillsides to the Tower Hill station. From Tower Hill you get views of Greens Pool and Elephant Rocks below.

At the far end of the path to the right of the carpark, a staircase will take you onto the sand and into William Bay National Park from the east.
William Bay National Park covers almost two thousand hectares and has some of the most spectacular coastline including Greens Pool, Elephant Rocks, Elephant Cove, Tower Hill. |
 Lights Beach is well worth a visit if you're on hoiday in Denmark, Western Australia.
It is a rocky stretch of coastline showing clearly the power of the frequent large waves coming ashore. Always be careful when near the ocean. A good tip is to look at the highest water mark and stay well above there. Watch children at all times. |
