Swimming is NOT recommended along the Great Southern Ocean except in a few sheltered spots. Always respect the power of the ocean. Frequent large waves and surges wash the coast all day long. DO NOT underestimate the power of waves along this coastline.
Wear proper walking shoes. Bring plenty of water. Wear sun hats and sun protection. Stay to the pathways! Always travel with another person. Notify your friends of when you expect to return. Be conscious of the bio diversity of the area and do what you can to preserve it.
Be careful.
Where designated.
Side-of-the-road information booths.
Beautiful views of the surrounding Countryside.
LARGE WAVES: Always take care when near the water. The waves of the Rainbow Coast are frequently large, powerful and unpredictable. Surges "King Waves" are frequent and occur without warning. Always stay clear of the waterline and never take your eyes of the ocean.
Coastal Fishing is excellent all throughout the year. Within National Parks and Forests fishing regulations apply. Contact National Park ranger for up to date safety information.
