Canal Rocks
Granite formations carved into channels by ocean waves. A small bridge leads into the rocks, where you can watch the surf rush into the “canals”.
Canal Rocks is a group of granite ridges jutting into the Indian Ocean south of Yallingup. Waves have carved narrow channels along the rock fractures that look like man-made canals. A small wooden bridge spans one of the channels, allowing visitors to walk out among the rocks for close-up views of the surf rushing in and receding. In calm conditions the nearby bay is good for snorkeling and fishing. The site lies within Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park and is free to enter. The rocks are slippery and occasional large waves break over them, so never approach the edges. Combine it with Smiths Beach and Ngilgi Cave on the same outing.
