About Elephant Rocks
Elephant Rocks is a coastal rock formation and sheltered beach in William Bay National Park, about 15 kilometres west of Denmark in Western Australia's Great Southern region. Large granite boulders in shallow turquoise water resemble a herd of elephants wading offshore, giving the site its name. Located adjacent to Greens Pool, it is known for calm swimming, snorkelling and photography within a protected bay framed by granite headlands and white sand.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a small sheltered cove with white sand and clear turquoise water enclosed by massive rounded granite boulders that resemble elephants. The beach is accessed via stairs and a short walk from the car park. The sheltered waters allow for swimming, wading and snorkelling close to shore, while the rocks and headlands provide scenic viewpoints and photography opportunities. The setting is natural and undeveloped within William Bay National Park, adjacent to Greens Pool.
