This beach is always a stunner. Swimming in crystal clear water, squeaky clean white sand and there is a walk over the rocks to other areas if you feel like exploring

Dignified and appropriate memorial to those who gave so much for the future of their country. Housed in a beautifully designed building in sympathy with its surroundings in Albany’s Mount Clarence Parklands this is a thoughtful and dynamic collection and tribute to the Anzacs who left these shores for WWI. Relating the stories of the Anzac troops from recruitment to convoy to the fields of Gallipoli and Flanders through narrative, interactive displays and a unique system of following a single soldier, this memorial takes you to what it was really like, from both sides of the conflict. A place to pause and reflect.

Staff are a mine of local knowledge and very keen to impart this to visitors such as I. The gift shop was quite extensive and had some very upmarket gifts.

Long stretch of pure white sand and azure ocean, along with clean air make this beach a wonderful place to visit. Walk from one end to the other on hard sand. You will barely see another soul. It’s heaven.

Well done to the planners who planned this memorial as the walk up to it via the stairs is a moving experience. For those who are unable to climb the stairs you can drive and park at the top. With views over the harbour where the ships departed this is impressive.
7. Torndirrup National Park

Torndirrup National Park contains many features of interest, from the Natural Bridge and the Gap to whale watching from the cliffs during winter. From the car park, there is a 1.6 km (5250 feet) return walk to the Blowholes. The Blowholes are spectacular when there is a swell running. This rugged coastal park has rough-hewn raw granite outcrops and rugged coastal scenery. When you are walking near the beach,, beware of king waves. Beach fishing will appeal to anglers; rock fishing is hazardous and is not recommended. The park has BBQs, a shop, tables and toilets. There is a recreation camp at Quaranup. Torndirrup National Park is accessible by two-wheel drive vehicle.

I wasn't sure i wanted to visit this place, but I'm definitely glad I did. I loved the little random plaques with local noongah information, random quotes as well as the information about the windmills. The wild flowers were lovely and the views were spectacular....i highly recommend visiting for beautiful sunset.
10. The Gap and Natural Bridge
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,884 reviews
The surging power of the Southern Ocean is evident at The Gap, a spectacular channel in the 40 metre high coastal granites of Torndirrup National Park. Lookouts at both the Gap and natural Bridge provide outstanding views of the Southern Ocean and the coast from Bald Head to West Cape Howe. Visitors to the Gap can venture onto a universally accessible new viewing platform 40 metres directly above the surging seas in all but the worst weather conditions. From the gentle and mesmerising heaving of calm seas to the buffeting rush of wind and spray of winter storms the experience changes from day to day. A raised pathway leads from the car-park and picnic area across the top of the exposed granite ramparts to reach the viewing platform at the Gap. The pathway gives safe access to the best views while protecting vulnerable plants and lichens on the rock surface from trampling.

Went to The Gap and Natural Bridge with no prior knowledge of what to expect. The area has been extremely well thought out for tourists with their upmost safely in mind. The engineering feat of the viewing platform over The Gap is spectacular and enables you to get really good views of the rugged coastline of the beautiful south west of western Australia. The Natural Bridge is amazing.
