William Bay National Park

William Bay National Park features a dramatic coastline of awesome beauty, with massive granite headlands, island-boulders and some of the best and most picturesque swimming beaches in all of Australia.
我們造訪了Greens Pool和Elephant Rocks最具代表的兩點

Greens Pool is famous for its turquoise green waters and pristine white sands which are edged by granite boulders. The centrepiece of William Bay National Park.

Overlooking the Greens Pool and the boulders off-shore is impressive

stunning views from the Green Pool lookout

Green Pool is basically a huge, natural ocean swimming pool of glassy-clear water, edged by a pristine beach of pure white silica sand and enclosed by rows of dome-shaped granite boulders.

The off-shore rocks, along with the tall headland behind the beach, provide complete shelter against the waves and wind. The swimming area remains calm and tranquil – and perfectly safe – no matter how stormy the ocean.
