Ellen Cove is situated at the end of Middleton Beach and is the starting point for the boardwalk trail which ends close to Albany's port. It takes around one hour to complete the 6km return journey. The trail offers an excellent opportunity to view spectacular vistas of King George Sound and its surrounding landmarks including Middleton Beach, Emu Point, Michaelmas and Breaksea Islands and Camp Quaranup.

 

Emu Point is a north-eastern suburb named after the beach and park found within its boundaries and is approximately 7km from Albany city centre.

Its sheltered lawn area, spotless beach, calm shallow waters and children’s playground, make it the perfect spot for a family picnic or lazy day on the beach.

Emu Point is also a popular fishing and boating destination and boasts its own marina and two restaurants.

Frenchman Bay is located on the southern side of King George Sound in the Torndirrup National Park, approximately 25 minutes drive from Albany’s CBD. The tranquil bay is a stone’s throw from Whale World and features an excellent picnic area with several barbecues sites, a boat launch and toilets.
