Castle Bay
Positioned between Castle Rock and Sail Rock, Castle Bay is a tranquil haven for those who like a pristine and private coastal paradise. The eastern end of the bay is rocky, with pockets of white sandy beach and dramatic granite boulders.

Bunker Bay
Expansive, raw and seemingly remote, this beach has smallish waves and crystal clear water. The waves are bigger here than at other calm beaches, sometimes big enough to form a good surf break.
Quindalup
With long stretches of white sand, calm waters and a protective sand bar, Quindalup beach is an absolute favourite amongst the locals. Amazing for long summer days, balmy evenings and gorgeous moon-rises; this incredible stretch of beach is also partly dog friendly!
