Castle Rock Bay
Highlights
- Discover the calm, turquoise waters of Castle Rock Bay, perfect for a refreshing swim or a relaxing day out.
- Climb to the top for spectacular views over the bay, revealing the stunning coastline and surrounding landscapes.
- Stroll along the Meelup Trail to encounter vibrant wildflowers, including rare Cape orchids and various native species.
- Enjoy a picnic with facilities like gas barbecues and tables, making it an ideal spot for family gatherings.
Located on the east side of Cape Naturaliste, this calm, turquoise bay is protected from the westerly winds and ocean swell. Perfect for swimming, fishing and relaxing, Castle Rock is located at the end of Castle Bay, accessed by a meander along the beach or via the Meelup Trail. A climb to the top will offer spectacular views.
It is a picturesque spot for a picnic with gas barbecues, picnic tables and wheelchair access.
If you’re a lover of wildflowers, this is the place to come – head east on the coastal track towards Castle Rock and the whale lookout or head west towards Meelup Beach and you find several varieties of Spider, Mustard, Jug, Donkey and possibly the rare Cape orchid. Native Rose, Pimeleas Hooded Lily and Acacias (Wattles) can also be spotted here.
It is also a great surf break if you venture off the beach. When the swells are big and dangerous along the coast head to Castle Rock as it is protected and holds good swell, with great long rides.
