Our third day was a very cold, wet and windy day which for me coming from the tropics was a treat. We spent the morning exploring the Margaret River Township with its many delightful stores and artisan shops, art galleries, bakeries and eateries. Of course I managed to find some great gifts to take home.
At lunch time we met up at the Margaret River Brewery for lunch where I shared a very Italian style delicious pizza and washed it down with 3 pony beers, including stout, lager and ginger ale beer. What a fabulous place with an amazing atmosphere, great food and wonderful beers. And it was so warm and cozy inside.
After lunch we headed over to Prevelly Beach. Home to Margaret River Pro competition and the international surfing circuit this beach has you covered. From parking to walking trails and from pavilions with picnic tables to grassy lawns, there’s room to enjoy a sunset, launch your board, or be a bystander. Prevelly surfing beach is popular among locals and tourists, plus is on the top ten for Margaret River. If you want to watch surfers or kite surfers or sailboarding this is the place to enjoy it. The is the best spot for watching these water/surf sports. It is great for the active and not so active with beautiful walking paths to the river mouth. The views from here over looking the ocean are spectacular. There is a great viewing deck near the car park where there is ample parking. From here there are wooden stairs down to the beach.
Located adjacent to the mouth of the Margaret River, this is a pretty and interesting rocky beach and surfing point with great scenery on a rugged coastline. The park and amenities are well set up and this is a nice part of the coast which is generally very beautiful.
The community / council has done a really good job developing a wide cement walkway along the foreshore dotted with steel sculptures and information panels adding interest. It is certainly a nice spot for a walk, with plenty of joggers and walkers taking advantage of the pathway.
The sand is beautiful and the sea very clear with little pools where you can have a swim.
It was a very lovely way to pass some time on this very chilly and windy day.
I just love this beach for the interesting bay, white sand, exciting ocean, surfing and rugged landscape. A great place to chill on the beach or watch the ocean from the boardwalk and picnic on the grass where there are electric bbq’s provided for free use by the local council.
So lovely to see pictures like this when we cant leave the house!
Yes, it was nice reliving the day as I wrote this post. Thanks, stay calm and strong. Lyn
Love seeing your pictures! So pretty and calming!
Thanks Celine, it was really nice revisiting this lovely place through my blog. Lyn
How lovely to have had your wonderful trip to Margaret river – something to look back on and enjoy now that we are all in lock down.
Yes Kay, I loved it then and I am thinking that I am loving it even more now. Lyn
Just a stunning location and as usual, great photos Lyn and it must be nice reliving your visit to these beautiful places while in isolation. Good for the soul. 💜💜💜💜
Thanks Lyn, I always enjoy re living my adventures but right now they are even sweeter. Lyn
Your photos are such a treat now that we have to stay at home. :)
Thanks Lynette, I am appreciating my trip even more than when I was there. Margaret River is just so fabulous. Lyn
Lyn, these posts are proving hugely useful in planning my next trip to Australia which will include our maiden visit to WA. You’ve made it look and sound wonderful, thank you. Hope you and your nearest and dearest are all well.
Thanks Sheree, I often think about you when I write them as I remember how much you remembered about my Qld posts. When you do finally make it back here, which I know you will, I highly recommend Springtime as that is when the wildflowers in WA are prolific. There is just so so much to enjoy in the Margaret River area. Lyn
Thanks Lyn I don’t know when we’ll be back but your posts are very useful for my itinerary planning.
Your doing a great job with these virtual tours Lyn, stuck as we all are at the moment. I can feel the sun, surf and breezes from here. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful place 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋
Thanks Mark, it is also good medicine for me, re living these wonderful adventures. Lyn
Good to see Margaret River area. Only known for wine but obviously there’s a lot more to enjoy.
Thanks Gail. It is a fabulous place to spend time with such a wonderful ambience. I would imagine the hippy part of me would enjoy living there.
Surfing and kite surfing are so exciting to watch (not a chance I’d actually participate as these sports scare me). Looks like an absolutely gorgeous place. Great photos!
Thanks Caroline. The entire Margaret River region is fantastic. Great weather, superb wineries, stunning coastline and it is not over populated. Lyn
Thanks for sharing your Aussie beach – it’s spectacular!!
Thanks Linda. It is a spectacular part of the world. Lyn
I actually stayed in a cabin at Prevelley Bay a couple of years ago and seeing your photos has reminded me of the beauty of this spot..kind of a bit wild and windswept as your photos demonstrate
Thanks Mary. I could easily spend more time there and yes a bit wild but exciting and so natural. Lyn
Lovely pictures, complemented by a wonderful write-up.
Thank you for your great comment. Lyn
What a beach! i would be there! Very nice😊
It is a very popular surfing beach. Just so lovely, thanks, Lyn
