Little Beach (Two Peoples Bay)

Little Beach is a gorgeous white sandy beach within the Two Peoples Bay Nature Reserve, about 35 km east of Albany in WA. Arguably one of the most beautiful beaches on the southwest coast, it has dazzling white sand, turquoise waves and is backed by tree-covered hills.

Access is along Valiant Road to the small beach car park and then down steps or the ramp to the north end of the beach. There is a small “drop” toilet along this path but that’s the sum of the amenities.

Sheltered by the headland, the sandy crescent of Little Beach has a lone giant rock few can resist climbing. Other than that, there is very little in the way of shade. Although generally calm, Little Beach does have occasional “king waves” that can take you by surprise.

Facing northeast, the beach offers stunning views towards Mount Manypeaks and Waychinicup National Park. Head out to the west from the beach along the Two Peoples Bay Heritage Trail for more dramatic coastal views from the lookout points. It leads to the Visitor Centre at Two Peoples Bay, about 4 km away.

From the south end of the beach you can take the path over the headland to Waterfall Beach, a tiny cove with a waterfall cascading down the rocks.
