Smiths Beach

Smiths Beach


Whilst the others returned to Perth, JL and I drove south for four day's rest at Smiths Beach Chandlers Cottages near Yallingup. This was definitely a move down market after Seashells!  No aircon or dishwasher!  Lots of noisy kids next door!  However, we enjoyed the views up the coast towards Sugarloaf Rock, plus lots of native wildlife: little birds flitting about in the bushes opposite, kangaroos and magpies calling for a feed every evening. Also, the free wi-fi was excellent 24/7 (unlike other places we've stayed at).


The weather turned very windy. The big surf was scary, so I daren't go in the sea. I did manage one swim in the Margaret Rivermouth. It is closed in most of the year by the build-up of sand and is a favourite place for kayaking.
