Misery Beach, Beach in Torndirrup National Park, Australia.
Misery Beach stretches 200 meters along King George Sound, with white sand bordered by large granite formations and clear waters.
The beach received its name during the local whaling industry period when blood and waste from whale processing would wash onto the shore.
The Menang people, traditional land owners, used this coastal area for spear fishing, camping, and hunting kangaroos through generations.
The beach requires a walk from the gravel parking area down multiple steps and a wooden ramp to reach the shoreline.
Tourism Australia selected this protected cove beach as the national Best Beach in 2022, following its transformation from industrial past.
