Emu Beach, Coastal beach in Albany, Australia

The name comes from an 1815 maritime surveying expedition, marking an important point in the early mapping of Western Australia's coast. These early surveys helped establish knowledge of the region's geography.
Local fishermen gather regularly at this shore to catch garfish and squid, keeping alive traditional fishing practices that have roots in the Albany region.
The beach has shaded spots, foot showers, and changing facilities available for visitors. A specialized beach wheelchair is provided to help people with mobility needs access the water comfortably.
