Cheynes Beach Caravan Park

Fishing types, come armed with plenty of kit – there are some great spots to fish from around here, either from the beach or rocks around the shore or taking a boat out. Cheynes Beach is one of the area’s top locations for salmon fishing, and there’s plenty more lurking below the surface too (tuna, snapper, pike, herring…) If you want a closer look at some of that marine life, there are popular entry points for scuba diving and snorkelling trips along the beach. More interested in what flies overhead? Waychinicup National Park, bordering the park, is a haven for all sorts of birds and the folks that come to see them. Leaving the beach behind for a bit, it’s slightly less than an hour’s drive to Albany, to follow the heritage trail round some of the town’s Gold Rush-era buildings, tour the old whaling station and visit the excellent National Anzac Centre. Make a detour on the drive over to take in the artworks along the Chainsaw Sculpture Drive (50 minutes from the park), all hewn from tree trunks by some skilful chainsaw action.
