Amazing beach, plenty of parking for the amount of people there at the time (saterday sunset and mid morning sunday) shallow water about 1m deep out at least 10m so great for little swimmers building their confidence. There is a decent amount of park benches looking over the beach on the grass as well as some tables off to one side with a young kangaroo and her baby hopping around

Lovely beach on a smaller scale. Beautiful white and and inviting, clear, calm water. Great for families and safe swimming. There is a large grass area above the beach, perfect for hanging out, especially if you prefer not to lie on the sand. There is also plenty of shade from the trees.
Very pretty.

Meelup Beach is stunning. The water is incredibly clear, calm, and inviting, making it perfect for a relaxing swim. The sand is soft and fine, great for kids to play on or just to sit back and unwind.
We visited on a weekday morning, and it was wonderfully peaceful with hardly any crowds. It really felt like a hidden gem where you can truly enjoy nature at its best without the usual hustle.
Highly recommend Meelup Beach if you’re in the area – a perfect spot for a quiet, scenic, and refreshing beach experience!
