Lucky Bay
The star bay of Cape Le Grand National Park, where brilliant white sand and turquoise water are often shared with kangaroos basking in the sun.
Lucky Bay stretches about 5 km, and its sand is exceptionally white and fine, squeaking underfoot. It has repeatedly been named one of Australia's whitest beaches. Grey kangaroos often roam the sand. You can watch and photograph them from a distance, but never feed them. The bay is calm and well suited to swimming, snorkeling, and beach picnics, with a campground and coffee van nearby. It lies about 60 km from town, so you will need a car, and entry to the national park requires a Western Australian Parks pass, charged per vehicle.
