Star 4.7 (949 Google reviews)
A visit to stunning Hamelin Bay is a must-do on any holiday schedule in the region. A vast expanse of bright white sand, turquoise waters filled with marine life, and spectacular coastal cliff walks. The sheltered bay is great for swimming, snorkelling and fishing, and divers can explore the nearby shipwreck.
For the bird enthusiasts, walk to the freshwater lake near the caravan park and look for water birds including Grey Teal, Purple Swamphen and Grebes. Collard Sparrowhawk and little Eagle have been seen here too and visit the beach for possible sightings of Hooded Plover. In summer, the Sanderling and Bridled Tern are welcomed visitors.

You may also spot a stingray as they sometimes swim close to the shoreline. Keep in mind that these are wild creatures and maintain your distance to respect their space. Please do not touch, feed or disturb wildlife.

 Hamelin Bay is home to a caravan park, small shop, public toilets and boat ramp.

Hamlin Bay Beach is a beautiful beach a short drive from Margret River, close to some of the cave. The beach / ocean is very calm here and suitable for all ages. At one point on the beach sting rays regularly swim very close to the shore which is quite magical if you get to see a bit one. Toilets, showers & catpark nearby.

Beautiful, wide beach. Great for a walk. Most people stay at the beginning of the beach, near the small jetty. Supposedly sting rays are quite common here, we did not see any. If you walk the other way, you have the beach pretty much to yourself. Lovely

We came for the stingrays, as did others, but the choppy waters meant they stayed however we discovered a nice coastal walk with some scenic views. Stingrays are apparently best seen early morning so factor that in if you’re thinking of visiting. Plenty of car parking and public toilets too but I’m guessing Hamelin gets very busy in the Summer.

An unforgettable experience we had at Hamelin Bay in Dec 2019 before noon, seeing the sting rays up close. They were huge, and we were lucky to see them. Lots of seagulls too
