Lucky Bay

One of the most beautiful beaches in Western Australia, this 5 km (3.1 mi) stretch of powdery sand surrounded by the scenic landscapes of Cape Le Grand National Park is the perfect setting for a romantic day trip. Spend the day swimming and exploring the park’s granite rock formations, then tuck into a picnic on the soft white sand.
