Beaches along the Rainbow Coast
Western Australia

 

The beaches along the southern coast of Western Australia are as diverse as the land surrounding them.

Small secluded beaches can be found throughout the regions of Albany, Denmark and Walpole. It must be noted that it is ONLY safe to swim in designated swimming areas, and many of the beaches are unpatrolled. Be safe, be careful.

In Albany there are several safe swimming beaches:

Little Beach, Two Peoples Bay National Park, Albany
