Castle Bay
Highlights
- Savour a beach picnic on the white sand, surrounded by striking formations of Sail Rock and Castle Rock.
- Drift into the clear turquoise waters for a refreshing swim, just a six-minute drive from Dunsborough.
- Capture stunning photographs of the coastal landscape, especially during early morning or late afternoon light.
- Stroll 500 metres from Meelup Beach along a coastal track, discovering tiny beaches framed by granite rocks.
Castle Bay is framed by the striking formations of Sail Rock to the west and Castle Rock to the east, making it a very picturesque spot for a beach picnic on the white sand and a refreshing swim in the clear turquoise waters.
The bay is an easy six-minute drive, or a pleasant 50-minute coastal walk north from Dunsborough – a popular holiday escape within three hours’ drive from Perth. If you’re visiting neighbouring Meelup Beach, Castle Bay is just a 500 metre stroll along the coastal track, passing a string of tiny beaches framed by granite rocks.
This stunning coastal landscape is also a great subject for keen photographers. Early morning or late afternoon are the best times to capture the rocks changing colours from vibrant orange to rust red and cool purples.
Fill your picnic basket with sensational flavours from the surrounding producers of fine gourmet goodies, or head for one of the nearby wineries and breweries for a lazy lunch.
