Injidup Point
Do you like big dunes? Do you like to see fertile vegetation outcrops
in a sea of desert, surrounded by the pearly Indian Ocean? This
beach will not disapoint you.

Hamelin Bay
This historical natural harbour has an beautiful, old burnt out
pier extending from its southern end, that was used at the turn
of the century by logging companies. The waters are generally
calm, and it is especially popular amongst families with young
children. Feed the stingrays that seem to live near the boat ramp.
There is also a fantastic caravan park with a small general store
that can provide you with snacks and all the fishing essentials.

Redgate Beach
Even during the height of summer this fantastic beach has a small
brook that feeds into the ocean. Tyson and I have thoroughly enjoyed
daming it up last year. EJ and Sal then relaxed in the warm sweet
waters overlooking the sea. Beautiful!

Smiths Beach
They don't get better than this. This beach is popular
with the surfers, and is great for small kids. Another river flows
out to sea at Smiths beach, which makes it perfect for sandcastle
building. The depth of the water undulates for quite a while before
it gets deep, but beware of the currents.

Conto's Beach
I could have put in a picture of awesome surfing. I could
have put in a picture of a wide endless beach, and I could have put
in a picture of the limestone cliffs and caves overlooking the ocean...
but I didn't. Autumn 2002 some friends and I went down to Conto's
and found an underground spring bubbling up onto the shoreline. Jason
fell in, up to his armpits, and got stuck. Oh, how we laughed. Try
burying a rock about 1m below the surface, and watch it pop up after
30 seconds. Now THAT's entertainment.

Gracetown
This lovely beach is with Meelup, the best for kids, yet
a little more secluded. There is a small cafe close by, and there
are some lovely walks along the rocks heading Sorth. Here's me,
Judith and 'One-Cubitt-by-Two-Cubitts' heading towards Big Rock.

Meelup Beach
This beach is one of the few North facing beaches on the
West Coast. It is therefore sheltered from the wind, and enjoys
calm tranquil waters, ideal for kids. Here's Geoff-o the 'blessed
cheesemaker' from Toronto playing frisbee. There are toilet facilities
and good parking. A couple miles down the road have lunch at WISE
Winery. Great views, great food, great wine!

Prevelly
Here is my gorgeous sister at Prevelly beach. The surf
here can get REALLY feisty, and is very popular with boogy boarders
and surfers heading South over the point.

Big Rock
Alan Barton and I had a 'who can take the best picture
competition', which, despite having a far inferior camera, I won.
Here's a picture of 'Big Al' on Big Rock. Of course I had to help
him up as he has weak ankles.

Margaret River Beach
This beach is also extremely popular, being so close
to Main Break and the river. During the winter
months the river flows strongly into the Ocean, but during the
summer, a large sandbank seperates the two. The river is great to swim in all year round. The Bushtucker Canoeing
Tour leaves from here. There are toilet facilities at the car park.
