Whalers Beach, Sandy beach in Albany, Australia
The white sand beach stretches 300 meters along the coast with granite outcrops forming the eastern boundary near Vancouver Peninsula.
The beach holds connections to the whaling operations of the Cheynes Beach Whaling Company, which processed up to 1,100 whales annually from 1950 to 1978.
The location serves as a memorial to the maritime heritage of Albany, reflecting the transformation from industrial whaling to environmental conservation and education.
Visitors can access a car park, toilet facilities, and concrete paths leading directly to the beach, with optimal visiting conditions from December through April.
The beach provides observation points for migrating humpback and southern right whales, which now freely pass through these former hunting waters.
