There is a sculptural quality to the Rivermouth landscape. This topography moves. As the Margaret River level rises and falls with the movement of seasons and changes in the volumes of water flowing from the catchment some 60 kilometres up river, her banks expand and contract, shaping the surrounding sand banks and altering her course as she spills into the ocean at Rivermouth beach.
The river has a calm, brackish quality at odds with the wild, salt pound of waves dumping on the shore.
Itβs a contrast played out by the people who come here. Young kids on boogie boards paddling the river. Young guns on short boards racing the wave face as it curls toward rock and shore.
Around the closest point, rockpools call to young explorers, looked over by Layla β Russell Sheridanβs vivid sculpture of a woman breastfeeding a baby whale.
At the other end of the beach toward Cape Mentelle, day trekkers completing a section of the Cape to Cape track descend to soft sand and a river crossing for the dayβs final push.
If you are looking for a perfect beach package for kids and adults, this is best place in Margaret River.
Parking is bit tough to find in busy summer season.
Toilets available.
Hiking option as well.

Margaret river mouth view point is a point where Indian ocean & Margaret river meet together. The scenery is very beautiful. The view of the water comes directly on the rocks is awesome. There is a upper view point of Margaret river. Here, there is a BBQ area. You need to come down to see the bottom view of its beauty. Enjoyπ
