Old Dunsborough Beach

This gorgeous spot is ideal for any level of ability with calm swimming waters protected by an Eco Barrier shark net

This calm swimming spot is ideal for kids and is protected by a shark net during summer. A playground, toilets, showers, barbecues and picnic tables are located nearby. The boat ramp is 200 m away, and fishing from the rocks near the boat launch is popular. Refurbished in 2014, the nearby Blackhurst Park playground has nature-based play equipment that will keep children entertained. Parking can be a little tight when busy, so don’t hesitate to park further away and enjoy a stroll.

The enclosure extends 100m from the shore and runs for approximately 300m, keeping swimmers safe by acting as a barrier to repel sharks. Involving 7 metal piles drilled into the seabed near the Old Dunsborough Boat Ramp, the enclosure is installed seasonally in the summer months to protect beach go-ers.
