Canal Rock Apartments

Just after Smith Beach walk, this beachfront apartment has tap water + beach showers in front every apartment. Nobody seems to care if you make a stop to refill your water or even take a quick shower after a cool dip. Follow the sealed road until the Smith Point Carpark, where the trail continues.

Moses Rock Campsite

Dry Toilet + 2 Water Tanks + 2 Wooden Table NO rubbish disposal - NO fireplace - NO car access The campsite is on right side of the track. It is impossible to miss! There is space for up to 10 small tents (4-5 in a small covered area), but few spots for big tents.

Injidup Beach

(Beach Number: wa0706) The main Injidup Beach commences on the western side of the small point and curves round to the northeast then north for 1.6 km to Mitchell’s Rock. Few rocks are also located along the southern and centre of the beach, with a unstable foredune against the backing slopes up to the rock.

Quininup Beach

(Beach Number: wa0697) Quininup Beach is 1.1 km and extends to both sides of Quininup Brook mouth, with continuous intertidal rock platforms fronting the beach. It is backed by active dunes climbing the slopes to either side of the creek, in places rising to 70 m and extending 500 m inland.
