Emu Point
A sandspit at the mouth of Oyster Harbour, with shallow, calm water that suits family swimming and paddling, and cafés by the shore for sunset views.
Emu Point is a sandspit between Oyster Harbour and King George Sound. The shallow water inside the spit is almost wave-free, making it the best place in Albany for family swimming. You can hire stand-up paddleboards and small boats here, and dolphins and pelicans are often seen. By the jetty you will find a seaside café and picnic lawns, and the evening sunset is lovely. It is about 8 km from the city centre and can be reached by bike or on foot along the coastal path from Middleton Beach.
