Mauds Landing is a historic beach in Coral Bay, Western Australia. Located about 3 kilometers north of Coral Bay, it was initially established as a port for wool and livestock but closed in 1947. Today, it serves as a crucial nesting ground for endangered Green and Loggerhead turtles. The beach stretches approximately 8.5 kilometers and is sheltered by an offshore reef, offering calm conditions ideal for beach activities.
The area is renowned for its excellent beach fishing and 4WD accessibility. Remnants of its past include weathered jetty piles and a concrete footing from the old woolshed. Despite its historical significance and proposed developments, much of the site remains undeveloped, with nearby Coral Bay offering more tourist facilities.
Visitors to Mauds Landing are advised to keep a distance from turtles during the nesting season, which runs from December to March. The beach's serene environment and historical importance make it a unique destination for nature lovers and history enthusiasts.
