South Coast
Why Go?
Standing on the cliffs of the wild South Coast as the waves pound below is a truly exhilar-
ating experience. And on calm days, when the sea is various shades of aquamarine and the
glorious white-sand beaches lie pristine and welcoming, it's an altogether different type of
magnificent. If you're seeking to get away from it all, even busy holiday periods here in the
'Great Southern' are relaxed; it's just that bit too far from Perth for the holiday hordes.
Marine visitors come this way, though - the winter months bring a steady stream of migrat-
ing whales.
When you need a change from the great outdoors, Albany - the earliest European settle-
ment in the state - has a wealth of colonial history, and towns such as Denmark and Esper-
ance invite you to sit back with a glass of fine local wine and watch the world go by.
