Cheynes Beach

Cheynes Beach is a coastal settlement and beach about 60 kilometres east of Albany in Western Australia's Great Southern region, within the City of Albany local government area. Backed by Waychinicup National Park and facing the Southern Ocean, it features a long white-sand beach, rocky headlands and views to Bald Island. Notable for its former whaling history, fishing, camping and seasonal whale sightings, it offers a remote natural coastal experience.

Visitors can expect a remote, natural Southern Ocean beach with a long stretch of white sand bordered by granite headlands and coastal heath. The settlement is small with a caravan park and limited services, set between Waychinicup National Park and the ocean. There are no shops or lifeguard patrols. Visitors can walk the beach, fish from shore or rocks, launch small boats, camp, and view Bald Island offshore. The area is quiet, exposed to ocean swells and winds, with opportunities for whale watching in season and bushwalking in the adjacent national park.
