The idea of a wild southwest is articulated along the Augusta shoreline. Granny’s Pool is a hamlet from this Southern Ocean expanse.
Tucked up in Flinders Bay, an ocean outcrop of rock rings around the pool and breaks the southerly swells, creating a swathe of calm blue. Stillness in the midst of stunning coastal ferocity.
Family-friendly is a theme along the Flinders Bay coastline, and the landscape surrounding Granny’s Pool is no exception. Hunt for crabs. Snorkel in the shallows. Take breaks beneath nearby shade trees. As the furthest point of land on the southwest coast, exploration forms an enormous part of Augusta’s character and history.
Granny’s Pool is safe harbour for the intrepid, and a wonderful launch pad of adventure for pint-sized pioneers.

It is easy to pull off the road here. The local government put in plenty of parking for the curious tourists who have to stop because they were stunned by the colour of the water. It is possible to have a dip in the water. I didn't but I saw one hardy person towelling off after a dip. The little beach is not patrolled so don't go out far. Take your camera.

Went around on Sunset in end of May. There was no one there at that time. It was raining for the hour before I got here from Cape Leeuwin. There wasn't anyone swimming there was a a calm pomd amodst the stormy waters. Had the luck to see a beautiful full rainbow at this spot.

What a surprise to find this pool. Such a perfect place for swimming as the water is crystal clear and calm. The scenery is magnificent and breath-taking. Suitable for children too. The beach is very assessible from the car park.

Great little spot just after Flinders Bay. Best if not too windy but fine for an early morning dip and quick swim.
