Sunrise Beach

Sunrise Beach is a sandy coastal beach located on the eastern foreshore of Onslow in the Shire of Ashburton, Pilbara region of Western Australia. Facing the Indian Ocean, it is known for calm, shallow waters, wide tidal flats and uninterrupted sunrise views. The beach is a popular local spot for swimming, fishing and beach walking, situated close to the town centre and Onslow's other foreshore beaches.

Visitors can expect a long, flat sandy beach with calm, shallow water at high tide and extensive mud and sand flats at low tide. The setting is open and natural with low dunes, sparse coastal vegetation and views across Beadon Bay. There are no high-rise developments; the beach is backed by coastal road and residential areas of Onslow. Visitors can walk along the shoreline, swim, fish from the shore, watch sunrise, and enjoy quiet, uncrowded conditions typical of the Pilbara coast.

Onslow is one of the oldest towns in the Pilbara, originally established in 1883 at Old Onslow and relocated to its present site in 1925 due to port and cyclone issues. The coastal area including Sunrise Beach has long served as a fishing and recreation area for the town and supports the local salt and fishing industries.

The Onslow area is located on Thalanyji Country. The coastline holds cultural significance for the Thalanyji people as part of their traditional lands and sea country, with ongoing connection to the coastal and marine environment.
