Bornholm Beach, Sandy beach in West Cape Howe, Australia
Bornholm Beach is a sandy shore along the southwestern coast of West Cape Howe, backed by tall cliffs that rise steeply from the water. The coastline stretches for several kilometers and is shaped by natural rock formations that create the distinctive landscape.
The beach lies within West Cape Howe National Park, a protected area that preserves the natural coastal landscape. This area has evolved over thousands of years through natural geological processes and remains largely in its original state today.
Local fishermen gather at this shore throughout the year to catch salmon, maintaining a long-standing tradition of coastal fishing in Western Australia.
Access to the shore requires suitable vehicles over various approach roads from the eastern or central sections. The beach can experience rough conditions, so it is advisable to check current weather and sea conditions before you visit.
The waters off this shore are marked by strong currents and regular waves that attract surfers and observers. Conditions can shift considerably depending on the season and weather, making the sea a constantly changing natural display.
