Golden Gates Beach, Ocean beach in West Cape Howe National Park, Australia
The 200-meter stretch of sand sits at the base of 50-meter slopes covered in dense vegetation against the Southern Ocean backdrop.
The national park, officially established in 1985, encompasses 36 square kilometers of protected coastline between Albany and Denmark in Western Australia.
West Cape Howe holds deep connections to indigenous communities, who maintained strong relationships with the coastal environment through generations.
A four-wheel drive track called Golden Road provides access to the beach, which experiences consistent 2-meter waves across a 100-meter surf zone.
The beach features a permanent rip current flowing against western granite formations, contributing to its high hazard rating of 9 out of 10.
