We were heading back to Perth town after spending our night in Lancelin. On the way, we stopped by at Scarborough Beach. While we reach here, there weren't many people around. Maybe due to the winter season and it was cold. Nevertheless, the weather was good on that day.

The beach is facing the Indian Ocean. It is known for the white sand surf beach in the world. Many activities can be done over here, eg swimming, surfing, fishing, wind surfing, kite surfing to name a few.

While we were there, we saw few people doing surfing, with their own technique. Looking at them, it remind me that it has been long time I didn't practice my surfing, especially in Bali. Maybe need to schedule a trip to Bali then... Hehe...

It is a well maintained beach, and at the same time we could see the local authority provided the guests with amenity such as electric stool for BBQ. Hopefully this could be implemented back in our home country, what an envy!!!

This would be a nice place for a vacation, and there are many accomodations available along the beach.

Middleton Beach

Coordinate: S35°01.0987′ E117°55.0001′

Since we staying in Albany, we thought of coming to this beach after done some research on this area the night before. After taking our breakfast, we headed to here. We tried to look from our map in gps device, to our surprise the map doesn't shows the result for Middleton Beach. Hence we search for the caravan park, and next to the park it was a huge car parking. We got off from our car, and heading towards the beach.

There is a woorden track leading us to the beach. Since it was early in the morning, the sun is quite hot. The sand is so soft, and easily enter to our shoes. Wave is bit strong, thus it was a perfect place for surfers. We just enjoying the morning breezes over here looking after the vast ocean in front of us. Magnificent view indeed.

The way leading us to the beach was full of grass. This making the scenary more beautiful. But we find this place is quite peaceful because it was a bit secluded. Houses was built facing the beach, and directly facing east. Thus the owner will enjoy morning sunrise.

We saw an elderly man came here for a morning walk together with 2 dogs. We played with his dogs for a while, and it seems the dog very active and running here and there. How I wish that I can enjoy the life of this elderly man, everyday of my life. Forgetting those hectic life back in KL.

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.

Peaceful Bay

Coordinate: S35°02.5088′ E116°55.6757′

This is one of the highly recommended place to visit. We truly enjoy our stop over here, as the name says it all, PEACEFUL. That day it was sunny day with blue sky, and we truly enjoying our view at this bay.

Peaceful Bay is a hamlet in the Shire of Denmark, a picturesque holiday spot on the Southern Ocean coast west of Denmark town centre. The bay is ideal for swimming, fishing, snorkelling, boating and diving. Peaceful Bay also offers bushwalking areas, providing visitors with an abundance of wildflowers and birds.

It's lucky for us to have such a great day, as the past few days we raining or cloudy. Since it was sunny, we could enjoy the crystal clear and calm water. If I could stay longer here, I would definitely enjoying my stay and fishing all day long.

We been trying to capture more picture, and I tried to stich few photos to have panorama view for this beautiful bay, probably the best that we have during our visit here.

We stopped on our way to Giant of Valley, which is about 15 minutes away. Coalmine Beach is located within Walpole-Nornalup National Park. It is ideal for sighseeing, bush-walking, swimming and fishing.

As it was still cold, we see no one having water activities by the time we were there. We quite like the area here, as we found it is relaxing over here. If we were to have more time, definitely we want to spend more time over here. If we spend more time over here, we might able to find out more about this historical place.

Back Beach a.k.a Hungry Hollow

Location: Geographe Bay

Since it is windy and beginning of springs, we didn't dare to touch the water. What we did just take photo and stroll around the beach. Water was not that clear on that day, and the wave was quite strong. We had our time here planning of our next journey.

At any good day, one can enjoy the pristine white sandy beach with all sort of water activities. It is excellent spot for swimming, surfing and even snorkelling. Besides that, beach fishing is also a popular activity over here.

Pantai Kemasik

Location: Between the town of Kijal and Kerteh

Along the driving from Kerteh to Kuantan, we were stumbled upon a nice beach. Though we have passed this area few times, but we never make an effort to stop for a while to take a look. By the time we came here, we are pleasantly surprise to see such a beautiful beach that is right in front of us.

Pantai Kemasik (or Kemasik Beach) is facing South China Sea. It is actually located in between Kijal and Kerteh. Because the beach facing South China Sea, this beach is clean and has crystal clear water. There are rocks at the beach, where you can either climb it or take some photo shots.

This clean and picturesque beach is popular among the locals especially during the weekend. It is great for picnic, camping, flying kites or just lounging around the golden sand beach. We saw a big family having their weekend outing over here and setting up the tent as well.

There is a small hut where fishermen will rest and sell some of their catch over here once they are back from the sea. Nearby, one can also view the rustic fishing village at the river mouth.

Pantai Kelulut

Location: Marang, Terengganu

Pantai Kelulut is located between Marang and Rantau Abang. We managed to discover this beach while on the way from Terengganu to Kuantan. This beach is well known for its natural beauty and serenity. Besides that, there are lot of pine trees along the beach.

This beach is also a preferred weekend destination by locals. Kelulut Beach is unique for its alluring powdery sands that form a remarkable stretch of sand dune.

It is also a picturesque fishing village, welcomes her visitors with tall swaying coconut trees, cool fresh air, an incredibly beautiful lagoon and a fleet of fishing trawlers. Any visitor to the beach will be easily captivated by its natural beauty and simplistic ambience.

Besides the beach, there are stalls around the area. We did stop by and tried out few dishes. Since it was sunny and hot, we decided to order coconut drink. Another dish that caught our attention was the fried ikan kembung (slimy mackerel or rastrelliger kanagurta). This dish really tasty, most probably it was freshly caught by the fishermen.
