Betty's Beach
Best Beach · WA
Tourism Australia's Best Beach 2020, No. 7.
This coast defies superlatives and the less this reviewer reveals probably the better.
Anywhere along this deep south WA coast, either side of Albany, you'll find a delectable selection of cosy corners just like Betty's or neighbouring Norman's Beach. Let's just say you won't have any issues sifting the sands for sublime beaches anywhere on this outstanding nature-blessed and National Park protected Southern Ocean coastline. And therein lies the anticipation of beach discoveries for those with a nose for sniffing out the sweetest and saltiest coves and swimming spots. This coast defies superlatives and the less this reviewer reveals probably the better. The locals are friendly, the lush forests peaceful and the salmon-rich waters are welcoming. How Betty and Norman came to have neighbouring beaches named in their honour remains a mystery but might be discovered among many authentic story tellers living along this tight-knit collective community.
⚠️ Ocean conditions can change quickly and rips can form even on calm days. Only swim at patrolled beaches, and supervise children at all times.
