Greens Pool & Elephant Rocks

Location: William Bay Rd, Denmark, 6333
Direction: 15 km west of Denmark on South Coast Highway, heading towards Walpole
Coordinate: S35°01.4012′ E117°14.1444′

After Peaceful Bay, we heading over here, Greens Pool. We drove about 45 minutes to reach over here. Greens Pool is rated one of Western Australia's most idyllic beaches which offering superb swimming, snorkelling, diving and even fishing. Greens Pool also famous for its turquoise green waters, and pristine white sands which are edged by granite boulders.

Weather changed fast and totally different from Peaceful Bay. It was dark sky, and seems raining going to fall. From the car park, we going down through staircase to the beach. Though it was without sun light and dark sky, we could see the water was clear and it could better if sunny day.

we saw few people fishing. We were wearing jacket as the wind was blowing quite strong, but those anglers only wearing shorts. Haha, just can't compare with them. While we going down staircase from the car park, there was a noticeboard. It stated visitors should respect other users over here, such as reconsider where to fish while people swimming at the beach.

Those dark sky really make me think the powerful Mother's Nature, weather changed just as it is. It make me think of the movie I watched during my kid's day, when the sky suddenly turn dark. What I worry that time was raining. It could turn havoc as I need to run to the car to get umbrella, which was quite far away.

When one walk few hundred metres from Greens Pool, one will come to Elephant Rocks. These granite domes resemble elephants set off the shallow waters. From afar, we could see the rock really resemble the elephant shape. We decided to sit on top of the granite and taking some photos over here. Good place for photography.

Some visitors walked down through the staircase between the rocks to Elephant Cove, just to the east. Underneath, one could also enjoy a stunning view. However, we didn't go down as we didn't wear proper clothes for beach area.

Over here, we met with a friendly Australian person, who has taught us few thinks of the wild flower available over this area. This make the visit more memorable.
