When you think of WA you don’t really think about one of the coldest parts of Australia. Generally we think about the heat of the desert of the Kimberley and the Pilbara in the North, the vastness of the Goldfields or the incredible coastline with one of the most amazing coral reefs in the world.
Tucked away down south though is one of the best parts of WA, especially for boating experiences.
Albany, on the South West coast, despite the chilly conditions of the Southern Ocean, is considered one of the best parts of WA for water based activities.
The Boating Industry Association of WA told us that in Albany, on a good day, the world is your oyster – you can head out to the Continental Shelf to fish and there is no shortage of what you could catch.
If the weather is not so good they say the harbours and rivers offer fishing alternatives.
Albany is also home to populations of dolphins, seals and from May to October – whales, which use the sheltered bays for mating and calving.
Albany is truly a marine paradise and for the boating and fishing nuts amongst us it’s a great place to make sure is on your WA bucketlist.
