Salmon Holes Beach

Salmon Holes Beach stretches along the northern end of Isthmus Bay with white sand framed by tall granite cliffs and heath-covered dunes. The sheer rock faces create a dramatic backdrop to the shoreline, defining the character of this coastal area.

The Menang Aboriginal people maintained a deep connection to this coastal area, living here before European settlement transformed the region. This long presence shaped the land and its cultural significance for local communities.

Local fishermen gather at this location during salmon season, following traditional fishing methods passed down through generations.

Two separate staircases from the parking area lead visitors down to the beach, with a wheelchair-accessible lookout platform at the top. The descent requires physical effort, but the views of the bay reward the walk down.

The limestone reef formations offshore create natural pools where Australian salmon species gather during their seasonal migration patterns. These pools support a delicate ecosystem that draws both predators and prey to the location.
