Elephant Rocks

Elephant Rocks are large granite formations that rise from the water along Western Australia's south coast, resembling a gathering of elephants when viewed from certain angles. The rocks frame a sheltered bay area where the water stays calm and clear.

The granite formations developed millions of years ago through natural erosion and weathering of the coastal landscape. This geological process shaped the distinctive rock blocks that define the bay today.

The rocks hold importance for local communities as a natural landmark within William Bay National Park, contributing to the region's outdoor recreation heritage.

Visitors reach the rocks by walking designated trails from the parking area, with the route being fairly short and easy to navigate. The best access point is near the town of Denmark and is clearly marked.

The rock blocks create a natural enclosure where swimmers and snorkelers enjoy clear water in a sheltered setting. This quiet lagoon offers visitors a rare calm experience along an otherwise rugged coastline.
