Greens Pool & Elephant Rocks
Greens Pool
A natural seawater pool in William Bay National Park near Denmark, sheltered from the open Southern Ocean by a line of boulders, with a nearby group of granite rocks that look like a herd of elephants.
Greens Pool lies in William Bay National Park, about 15 km west of Denmark. A row of smooth granite boulders shields it from the Southern Ocean swell, creating a clear, emerald-green natural pool with gentle waves. It's ideal for swimming, snorkelling and family splashing. A walk of about 10 minutes along the coastal path brings you to Elephant Rocks, where a group of grey boulders sits half-submerged in the shallow bay, like a herd of elephants at play. Albany is about 65 km away, roughly a 50-minute drive. In summer the car park often fills by the afternoon, so go in the morning. There are no lifeguards on this beach.
