The far less crowded beaches of Western Australia are stunningly beautiful. Add to this the utter sense of tranquillity and bliss you encounter and it’s a holiday to remember.
Beautiful Lucky Bay is located at the other end of famous Cable Beach. It is a vast bay that belongs to the eastern edge of Cape Le Grande National Park. Lucky Bay offers sun bleached white sand beaches that are framed by granite peaks and capes. The turquoise blue waters are invitingly cool and crystal clear. While spotting a bunch of kangaroos on the beach is quite a natural sight. If it is tranquillity you seek then plan a holiday of solitude close to Lucky Bay in a popular touristy area such as Broome.
Located within the William Bay National Park in Denmark these two beaches are by far some of the most beautiful in Western Australia. The water tends to be a bit icy cold but they are crystal clear and quite stunning. Green pool is spared from the chilly winds by a border of boulders and a grassy hillock. The water too is quite calm and inviting for kids while the boulders are easy to climb and make perfect sunbeds.
Elephant Cove located just 5 minutes from Green Pool is dotted with a line of boulders known as Elephant Rocks, they are easy to climb and make excellent diving points.
Cable Beach is the first and most amazing sight of Broome you see when arriving by air. The famous beach is quite stunning and loved by tourists of all ages. Pinkish coloured huge sandy beaches are lapped by the slow moving surf while the gorgeous sunshine invites you to spend long lazy days doing absolutely nothing on the beach. If you’re looking for Broome family accommodation, there’s plenty to choose from; however, it is wise to select a Broome hotel that offers easy access to the beach. Consider the convenience of booking laid-back serviced apartments minutes from the beach and city centre. These abodes are ideal for comfortable family stays and offer modern kitchens, living space and amenities of a conventional hotel. Just minutes from Cable Beach and well within the city centre is the Oaks Cable Beach Sanctuary. If you are on a romantic sojourn consider hanging around for a spectacular Cable Beach sunset.
Dazzling white cockle shells make up Shell Beach. It is located within Shark Bay which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is quite a spectacular sight as the shells make up the beach for a distance of over a 100kms
This is a fabulous beach for enjoying a myriad of activities. Surf, snorkel, swim or simply relax within the beautiful environs. Yallingup Beach located around Margaret River offers a secure lagoon for swimming in while surfers love the excellent breaks around the southern edge. Snorkelling fans will find the reef is a treasure trove of marine life and is quite fascinating to explore.
