The coastline in the north of the Margaret River Region is spectacular. Our day trip began with a diversion to Yallingup Reef.

We stood, mesmerized by the breaking surf and perfectly placed rainbow.

A little further north, Yallingup Beach is famous for its legendary surf breaks. However, Yallingup Reef is well protected from the wind and the beach stays very shallow for a long way out.

The granite rocks of the point surround it completely and the breaking waves are far from the beach.

I can see why the Aboriginal name for this beautiful area means ‘place of love’.
