Cape Le Grand National Park

We were absolutely blown away by the bright white sand and crystal clear turquoise waters down here on the WA South Coast. Felt like every new beach, bay and cove was more beautiful than the last. The water was cold and there were tourists galore (Easter long weekend!), but otherwise perfect hot, sunny weather and no wind!

We climbed the 345m Frenchman Peak for a magnificent 360 degree view of Cape Le Grand National Park and of the many rocky islands dotted along the mainland. There was a massive cave in the granite rock at the top of the peak, the result of ocean wave erosion 40 million years ago when the sea level was 250m higher than it is today.

The rest of our time was split between Lucky Bay, Hellfire Bay, Thistle Bay and Wharton Beach in the ocean and playing on the sand dunes. Wish we could have stayed longer!Read more
