TOP OF CHAPTER
Yallingup & Around
POP 1070
Beachside Yallingup is a mecca for both surfers and wine aficionados. You're permitted to
let a 'wow' escape when the surf-battered coastline first comes into view. For romantic
travellers, Yallingup means 'place of love' in the Wardandi Noongar tongue.
A set of beautiful walking trails follow the coast between here and
Smiths Beach
.
Canal Rocks
, a series of rocky outcrops forming a natural canal, are just past Smiths Beach.
