The Margaret River Region boasts over 100 kilometres of diverse coastline, featuring rugged cliffs, sheltered rock pools, and expansive white sand beaches. While it’s impossible to see it all in one visit, here are a few standout spots that are well worth your time.
Near Yallingup, the wooden boardwalk at Canal Rocks offers a unique perspective as it crosses a natural channel cut through the rock formations. On calm days, the water here is crystal clear; on stormy days, watch on as waves crash dramatically against the bridge and rocks.
Just five minutes south of Canal Rocks, you’ll find Injidup Natural Spa. True to its name, this rock pool creates a natural spa-like effect, with ocean waves flowing through a gap in the rocks.
Closer to town, the Margaret River Mouth Viewpoint is a must-see to admire where the river meets the sea. In winter, water flows freely between them, but during other times of the year, they are divided by a sandbank.
At these coastal locations, it’s important to remain cautious as conditions can quickly become rough or change unexpectedly.
