About Albany

Albany sits on the south coast of WA, widely regarded as one of the most incredibly beautiful and diverse coastlines in the world – in equal turns stunningly gorgeous and fearsomely rugged. The region boasts beaches that are routinely named among the best in Australia, such as the incredible Little Beach, the aptly-named Elephant Rocks in Denmark and of course our iconic Middleton Beach, just minutes from Albany’s CBD.

There truly is something for everyone in Albany, from gourmet wine-lovers to intrepid 4WD explorers, to backpackers – and everyone in between. World-class wine, food, fishing, surfing, swimming, diving, hiking, mountain biking, four-wheel-driving, camping and myriad other activities are all on offer within minutes of town.

Amazing Albany is the jewel of the Great Southern. We hope you enjoy your stay in one of Australia’s most sought after tourism destinations.

 
 

ALBANY’s Best Experiences

 

Princess Royal Harbour

Princess Royal Harbour is one of the largest natural harbours in the world. Drive along or jump onboard one of the local cruises to explore the huge stretch of waters in this picturesque harbour. Keep an eye out for the humpback whales in the harbour and neighbouring King George Sound.

 

National ANZAC Centre

The award winning National Anzac Centre is one of Australia’s most important cultural pilgrimages. Located within Albany’s heritage listed Princess Royal Fortress, the centre overlooks the actual harbour from which over 41,000 men and woman departed Australia for the Great War. Immerse yourself in the Anzac Legend and follow personal stories through state of the art technology, multimedia and historic artefacts. Prepare to remember, learn and explore.

 

Little Beach

Little Beach is the most picturesque perfect, magical beach in Western Australia. With a combination of white sand, azure water, granite headlands and greenery, it easily surpasses some of the famous beaches around the world. You can find Little Beach and Waterfall Beach beneath Mount Gardner on Two People’s Bay Northern Headland. Visit this beautiful spot for ocean views and fishing. You can enjoy stunning coastal scenery from a lookout at the beach or climb the granite rocks that surround the beach and take a walk towards Two Peoples Bay itself.

 

The Gap and Natural Bridge

A new universally accessible viewing platform at the Gap allows visitors to stand 40 metres directly above the surging seas, allowing those brave enough to view the true power of mother nature. The new raised pathways give safe access to stunning views and provide protection to vulnerable plants and lichens on the rock surface. The pathway out to the Natural Bridge provides a stunning view of the bridge, a monumental span of granite demonstrating the awesome power of the sea when a heavy swell is running. Enjoy epic views of the Southern Ocean and the coast from Bald Head to West Cape Howe.

 

Middleton Beach Board Walk

The Middleton Beach Boardwalk commences from Ellen Cove and winds around the coast with stunning views to join up with Stirling Terrace in the city. There are a number of pathways from the track that lead to the water’s edge. The total distance from the beach back to the city along the path is approximately 5 kilometres. This is a dual pathway for walkers and cyclists. A must see for all visitors to our city.

 

Wine and Dine

There’s a reason Albany’s gourmet providores, organic food producers, farmers’ markets and dining outlets are stacking up all the food awards’ silverware. Produce so fresh you can count the minutes since it was harvested, devotion to sustainable agricultural methods, commitment to time-honoured cooking techniques passed down through generations and a strictly seasonal approach to dining room menus. Taste our award-winning wines, spirits, locally made beer, farm fresh yabbies and trout and olive products. Try the freshly shucked Albany oysters, boutique goats cheese and much more!

 

Albany Wind Farm

The Albany Wind Farm is approximately 12km southwest of the city centre. It is in an elevated position approximately 80m above the Southern Ocean. This height, proximity to the coastline and small distance to the main electricity transmission system make this an exceptional wind farm site. The wind farm is open to the general public every day of the year and you are free to visit.

 

Wineries and Distilleries

The Albany Region is home to one of the largest of Australia's wine regions. Our wine region is set in some of the most picturesque and unspoilt countryside in WA. Enjoy wandering the vineyards and 26 cellar doors of famous Riesling, Shiraz and Chardonnay. Great Southern Distilling Company, home to Limeburners whisky, sits on the edge of the Princess Royal Harbour in Albany on the South West coast, the cellar door is a relaxing way to taste through their portfolio.
