Yokinup Bay in Cape Arid National Park.
Oh my, oh my! The
beach stretched for what seemed like miles into the distance. It was a broad beach and even though it was
still overcast and grey the water was a beautiful blue. Who know how vivid it would have been if it
had been a clear, sunny day.
We walked along the coast a bit but it was windy and still
rather cold. The day never got over
about 65°F. So instead of walking to the
next cove we drove on to Dolphin Cove.
Much smaller but very picturesque.
Just around the corner from Dolphin Bay was Little Tagon
Bay, also very pretty. We had planned on
going a bit farther over to Tagon Bay but the road was really bad and for 4
wheel drive vehicles only. Ours is an “all-wheel
drive” but didn’t have the clearance to get through the ruts so that was
out.
During the drive back towards town we found the cut off to
Wharton Beach and the Duke of Orleans Bay.
Never did find the Duke’s Bay but Wharton was huge and gorgeous with a
number of picnickers and...
We also found Little Wharton Beach, also stunning. The water is so incredibly clear and blue at all of these beaches and the sand is very white and clean. A bit like paradise only colder.
There was a sooty oystercatcher working diligently in the surf, looking for his supper.
We had dinner at the only place within miles, the Condingup Tavern. Food was ok, nothing to write home about. The place also had a General Store...
and in the store was a shelving unit that appeared to be functioning as post office boxes.
We got back to the hotel just around dark. Long day with gorgeous sightseeing.
