Twilight Cove, Coastal cove in Great Australian Bight, Western Australia.
Twilight Cove is a coastal indentation along the Great Australian Bight featuring a broad white sand beach and towering cliffs. The site sits near the Cocklebiddy roadhouse and forms part of a remote and rugged coastline.
The cove witnessed multiple shipwrecks, most notably the vessels Twilight and Bunyip, which ran ashore during a storm in 1877. These maritime events marked the coastline and remain part of its story.
The cove holds traditional meaning for Aboriginal people, who called it Malbinya in their local language. Local researchers documented aspects of this heritage that remain important to the region.
Visiting requires a four-wheel drive vehicle and careful planning since the location is extremely remote. Check tide conditions before arriving and bring ample supplies of water and food.
The location marks where Baxter Cliffs shift direction, forming a transition between two different landscape zones in the region. Traces of old telegraph infrastructure remain scattered across the area.
