About this place
Whalebone Beach has more to offer than just being a scenic beach, it is also a great spot for fishing. When the access track is open it can be reached by four-wheel drive, otherwise on foot via the Hakea Trail. The walk trail winds through vegetated dunes behind the beach and then turns inland at Whalebone Cove and leads to a camping spot for hikers.
Please clean footwear and equipment at the start and finish of any walks you do in natural areas to prevent the spread of Phytopthora dieback.
