William Bay National Park

Denmark Accommodation

Fifteen kilometres west of Denmark, 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, Waterfall Beach, Mazzoletti Beach. Wow!

Elephant Cove, William Bay National Park

Situated between Denmark and Bow Bridge, William Bay National Park is extraordinary.

The centrepiece of the park is Greens Pool and Elephant Rocks where rounded granite boulders create a reef stretching a hundred metres out to sea. Greens Pool is a delightful sheltered place to swim.

Greens Pool
Almost completely sheltered from the waves of the Great Southern Ocean by the rounded rock boulders typical to this area, Greens Pool is paradise.

Waterfall Beach
We visited Waterfall beach in winter when the waterfall coursed across the heathland and poured out over weathered rocks and down to the beach.

Waterfall Beach

Madfish Bay
Many fish are known to inhabit the waters around Madfish Bay including whiting, bream and salmon. We could see a few schools in the shallow waters from the car park pathway.

As we drove through the park's peppermint tree lined roads, we had fantastic views of the headlands and bays of this magnificant park.
