Greenly Beach
A wild beach on Eyre Peninsula's west coast, where red granite reefs and natural rock pools face the thundering Southern Ocean, a hot spot for photography.
Greenly Beach lies about 60 km northwest of Port Lincoln on the west coast, reached by gravel road from Coffin Bay or Kulta. On one side of the beach, red granite worn smooth by the waves stretches along the shore. At low tide, natural rock pools of various sizes form among the reefs, their water crystal clear and in sharp contrast with the rolling waves of the Southern Ocean outside. It is a popular photo spot on Xiaohongshu and Instagram, and surfers also come here. There are no lifeguards. At high tide and during big swells, waves can wash over the rock pools, so watch the tides and rogue waves, and never enter the water on the open-ocean side. There are no facilities, so bring plenty of water.
