Description

The Ellen Cove Boardwalk is an easy 3,5 km walk along a wooden boardwalk and a sealed path from Ellen Cove towards Albany. This wheelchair accessible walk begins at Middleton Beach and winds through coastal heathlands offering great views of King George Sound. Look for Southern Emuwren and Red-winged Fairywren in the low heath. Red-eared Firetail and White-breasted Robin are easily found as is Brush Bronzewing. During whale-watching season (May to November) watch out for migrating humpback and southern right whales.

The Ellen Cove Boardwalk is an easy walk along a boardwalk and sealed path from Ellen Cove towards Albany. You can park at Middleton Beach, where the trail starts. Click on the P in the map for directions or coordinates. The trail (3,5 km one way, 7 km there and back) has great ocean views the whole way along. It passes by Rotary Lookout, Whale Head Rock, the Lighthouse Keepers House and Kamal Ataturk Monument. There are pathways leading down to rocky vantage points or up to lookouts. The whole walk is on shared paths with cyclists, so please keep left. If you are lucky you will see whales out in the bay. Good idea to bring a jacket as it can be cold.
