Redgate Beach
An open beach south of Margaret River with pounding surf and rocky reefs. A good spot for watching the ocean and photographing sunsets, though not suitable for swimming.
Redgate Beach lies about 15 minutes' drive southwest of Margaret River town. It is an open stretch of sand facing the Indian Ocean, with dark rocks at both ends. The waves are big and the currents strong, so it suits walking, watching the surf and surfing, but not swimming. In 1876, the teenager Grace Bussell rode out on horseback to rescue shipwreck survivors, and that story took place in waters nearby. The Cape to Cape Track passes through here, and you can walk south to the mouth of the Calgardup Brook. Admission is free, and there is a car park and toilets.
