A peek-a-boo strip of white sand that comes and goes with the tide. Red ochre rocks that tumble out of shrub and into the blue. This is Point Picquet, striking and architectural.
Swimming is accessible, though it does require a clamber to shore. There is small surf off the point.

Boats are attracted to the inlet, as are fishing enthusiasts keen to cast from shore. Marine health is prized, with this stretch of beach forming part of the protected Eagle Bay Special Purpose Zone (where fishing from a boat is not permitted).

This is a great spot to whale watch in near isolation through the migratory months of June through to November, and to rock pool hop in summer.

Appreciation of Point Picquet is best accessed via quiet enjoyment of its diverse appeal.

A beautiful spot to sit and spot the whales that are resting up in the bay. You'll be sure to spot a whale between July-September and there are information boards about the types of whales you can see. In addition there is a walking trail from Point Picquet which takes you along the coast where you'll pass by Gannet Rock and eventually arrive at Meelup Beach. There are plenty places along the track to walk down to the beach and explore the rocks and beaches. There are toilets at both Point Picquet and Meelup Beach

Went there for whale spotting and it didn’t disappoint - again. Nice and peaceful.
