THINGS TO SEE IN YALLINGUP

HERE ARE A FEW OF OUR FAVOURITE LOCAL ATTRACTIONS

Smiths Beach

This beach is one of Western Australia's most accessible, popular and beautiful. Nearby Yallingup Beach is popular with surfers whereas Smiths Beach is quite protected and safe for family outings. The beach has a vivid contrast of blue and green colours. The sand has a lovely light yellow colour.

Ngilgi Cave

One of the Cape's most visited attractions, the caves were discovered by Europeans in 1899 and have now been opened to the public including adventure caving and torchlight tours. Observe the one hundred year old stalactites dripping with water, echoing throughout the cave.

Canal Rocks

An unusual marine rock formation which is spectacular to view during stormy weather as the waves roar through the channel and crash on the rocks. A series of very large, protruding rocks form a natural canal and is one of the most photographed locations in Australia's South West.

Coastal Hills

Hundreds of species of wildflowers are found in the hinterland of Yallingup, especially along the coast on the steep hills. Carpets of flowers colour the bush from September to December. Species found here are unique and many trails will lead you to find flowers and great local vantage points of the coast.

What's the weather like?

The region has a moderate Mediterranean climate with warm summers and cool, wet winters. Cold fronts in winter bring large swells, ideal for surfing. The weather is pleasant most of the year. Summer (December to February) averages 30°C max and 16°C min, while winter (June to August) averages 17°C max and 8°C min.

A bit of Yallingup's history

Yallingup, meaning "Place of Love" in Aboriginal language, has a brief history. The town began after Edward Dawson discovered Ngili Caves in 1899 while searching for missing horses. The following year, he started giving cave tours, which became so popular that Caves House was built. Electricity was added in 1904, and Dawson continued guiding tours until retiring in 1937.
