After 120 m find the "Middleton Beach" (110 m on your right).
Middleton Beach
Middleton Beach
One of Albany's most stunning seascapes, Middleton Beach has become one of the most popular beaches in the area. Protected from the waves of the ocean, this beach is a great place for swimming and snorkelling. There are volleyball courts, barbecues, a picnic area, a jetty and even a pub. The beach is 5 kilometres long, so you'll probably find a somewhat secluded spot to set up. You can fish from the jetty as you watch the sunset. Try to spot the granite islands; Breaksea and Michaelmas.

Officially rated as one of the cleanest beaches in Western Australia, Emu Point Beach is located a few kilometres from Albany. The plentiful shade provided by the trees along with the shallow waters, make this place a great destination for families. Keep in mind that the beach is also accessible by wheelchair (with a beach-access wheelchair if you'd like to make your way on the soft sand).
