Skippy Beach

Skippy Beach is a picturesque beach located in Leeuwin, Australia. It has a length of approximately 1.5 kilometers and is known for its fine, white sand.

Activities available at the beach include swimming, surfing, and fishing. It is also a great spot for beach walks, picnics, and relaxation. Skippy Beach has basic amenities such as bathroom access, picnic tables, and rubbish bins, but there are no lifeguards on duty and dogs are not allowed on the beach.

There is a free parking lot available near the beach. However, as the beach can get busy during peak season, it is recommended to arrive early to secure a spot.

Fun fact: Skippy Beach was named after the kangaroos (known as "Skippys" in Australia) that used to frequent the area.

In addition to enjoying the beach, visitors can also explore the nearby Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse and the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park, which offers stunning coastal hikes and beautiful wildflower displays in the spring.

Nearby restaurants include The Larder, which offers Mediterranean cuisine, and Augusta Hotel, which serves traditional Australian pub food.

For accommodation, visitors can choose from a range of options such as Augusta Sheoak Chalets, a peaceful retreat surrounded by natural bushland, or Baywatch Manor Augusta, a budget-friendly hostel with sea views.
