17 minute read

Western Australia offers some of the best beaches in Australia, making it a popular place for beach enthusiasts. You can find plenty of beaches to explore and set up your Beach Tent on your west coast adventure because of the incredibly diverse coastline.

From the white sand and azure seas to red rocks on the shore, the west zone has it all. Take a road trip from Perth to Esperance along the southwest coast to see some of our favorite sites, or just select a suitable beach to set up a beach tent for a relaxing vacation.

Here are some of our favorite and most beautiful beaches in Western Australia.

 Top 10 Beaches to Visit in Western Australia

Cable Beach

 One of the most beautiful beaches globally, with turquoise waters and white sand, is located in Rottnest, Western Australia. An ideal setting for a beach tent and a beach view that is visually pleasing.

This coastline is composed of rolling dunes where the red soil changes to a light orange color and then turns to pure white sand as it approaches the turquoise Indian Ocean. Seeing a sunset from Cable Beach is a rare opportunity, and you can take it all in. You can ride camels at sunrise and sunset on the northern parts of the beach, beyond a rocky area. On the cliffs to the north, four-wheel-drive vehicles are allowed. At low tide, you can explore the beach in a much more comprehensive manner than would otherwise be possible on foot, especially in the summer.

The beach deserves its reputation as one of the best in the world. Cable Beach is a wonderful place to walk, play beach cricket, drive a 4WD to tailgate, ride camels, swim, and have a picnic on a beautiful grassy lawn at night. A great place to start a beach trip by kicking back on your Beach Chairs and watching the sunset.

Esperance

There are endless beaches and ocean views in this little town of Esperance, a coastal jewel. The best Esperance beaches would be incomplete without Lucky Bay, located within Cape Le Grand National Park. Probably the most well-known of Esperance's beaches is Lucky Bay, best known as the kangaroos' home. There is nothing more adorable than seeing their cuddly companions frolicking on the beach or relaxing in the sun.

The five-kilometer-long beach will allow you to find a secluded spot regardless of how many people are present. Locals love fishing from the beach, and you can also enjoy the boat launching facilities. Lucky Bay offers a fantastic campground that you can now reserve in advance, making it a great site for setting up beach shelter for the day. Located within Cape Le Grand National Park, Hellfire Bay is another gem. Because this beach is less popular, you may even be able to have the entire beach all to yourself. 

Wharton Beach is another beach within Cape Le Grand National Park. The trip from Esperance to this spot takes about an hour, but it's totally worth it. If the driver is a deterrent, try making the trip over several days and camping at Orleans Bay Caravan Park instead.

 Monkey Mia

Due to its geographical location, Monkey Mia has exceptional weather all year long. You can get to Monkey Mia by car or by plane. There are many things to do in Monkey Mia, but seeing the native bottlenose dolphins should be top of your list.

 At least once in a lifetime, everyone should have the opportunity to see these magnificent creatures up close and personal in their natural environment. It's a truly unforgettable experience to be able to walk in ankle-deep water with dolphins swimming around you.

Enjoying the sun during the day is always wonderful, but there is nothing more beautiful than seeing the sunset from the deck of a magnificent sunset cruise. Renting a cruise in Monkey Mia is one of the most pleasurable things to do, and it gives you a great chance to observe the sunset over the Western seas off the coast of the Peron Peninsula. Travelers who enjoy exploring coastal views and experiencing off-road adventures will find this itinerary enjoyable.

 Gnaraloo Bay

The unspoiled natural beauty of Gnaraloo Bay makes it a top surfing, kitesurfing, windsurfing, and fishing destination.

Gnaralloo is a great destination for surfers if you love the blazing power and intensity of the waves. The turtle rookery at Gnaraloo Bay contains one of the world's most significant populations of endangered loggerhead turtles, which are found only in a handful of confined areas. Just an early morning beach walk will allow you to see migrating humpback whales, dolphins, and turtles. This is an opportunity to be close to nature like never before.

Byron Bay Beach Tents can be set up in minutes

If you want to enjoy a great day at the beach, it’s a very good idea to take your Beach Tent along for the ride.

Beach tents can protect you from UV rays while keeping you healthy. In addition, Beach Shades are water-resistant and they provide very good wind resistance too. They also come with reinforced corners and they are easy to install in minutes.

Here are a few pointers on how to set your Beach Tent up

  • Start with the frame

First, you want to connect and then lay down the crossbar, so you know where you will set up the shade. Then you want to place those green tube holders at any desired end of the crossbar. Make sure that you hammer the pole straight, but only halfway into the sand. This offers resistance, while also making it easy to adjust as well.

The next thing you want to do is to snap lock the upright poles, and once you do that you must insert a pole in each one of the holders. Then you want to connect the cross bar at the top, and you will have a great, freestanding frame.

  • Add the canvas

Now that you have the frame of your Beach Tent, the next thing you want to do is to place the canvas over your frame. You can use the middle eyelet so you can hook on to the pole spoke, and ensure that your canvas is hanging properly on both sides. If it’s uneven, intense wind will destabilize it. So what you want to do is to make sure that the canvas is always hanging on both sides.

  • Manage the ropes and pegs

Beach Tent Pegs are best inserted at a 45 degree angle back towards the Beach Tent. Then take the corner rope, then loop it around the peg hook, and once you do so, you attach it to the black hook clip back up and keep a tight tension on the rope. Do the same for every corner. It is best to check these pegs & ropes often, and also keep the tension on the rope tight.

Beach Tent Instruction Video :

Once set up your Beach Shade Tents will be sturdy against the stiffest of breezes - unlike a Beach Umbrella

Certain Beach Umbrellas can are lightweight and easy to throw in the boot of the car. However, beach umbrellas don't provide a lot of shade and while they are easy to set up, they can be tricky keeping in place, particularly in the stiff winds of WA.

No doubt you've witnessed at least one or two beach umbrellas flying around the place in your time. Once a Beach Tent is set up with strong tension on the ropes, it is there to stay, with 6 connected points to the Sand - 4 sand pegs and 2 pole holders.

Beach Tent Conclusion

Beach tents are an excellent investment for anyone that wants to enjoy a day at the beach without risking skin damage or getting sick. Beach Tents block UV rays, offer good wind resistance and they're easy to set up in just minutes too.
