Cheyne Beach, Coastal beach in Frenchman Bay, Australia
Description
Cheyne Beach is a sandy shore with white sand and clear turquoise waters along the Southern Ocean. The beach curves naturally and is backed by native vegetation and dunes that protect the shoreline.
History
Commercial fishing started here in the 1920s when the Westerberg family established operations along the bay. This early fishing industry shaped how the beach developed and what remains visible today.
Culture
The beach sits within an Important Bird Area where rare species like the noisy scrub-bird make their home. Visitors can observe these creatures and other wildlife going about their daily routines along the shore and in nearby bushland.
Practical
The beach can be reached by car, and a caravan park nearby offers accommodation with ocean views. The warmer months provide better conditions for swimming and enjoying the shore comfortably.
Did you know?
The area is home to one of mainland Australia's few quokka populations, small marsupials rarely seen away from islands. These creatures make the location special for those interested in spotting wildlife found nowhere else nearby.
