Almonta Beach

Almonta Beach is a picturesque beach located in Coffin Bay. Known for its scenic beauty, the beach is characterized by its white sandy shores and the strength of its waves, which can sometimes get wild. The beach is also home to a variety of wildlife, including kangaroos and emus.

The beach is accessible via two car parks, with the northern one being the easiest to reach. From the northern car park, visitors can access the beach by descending a set of stairs. However, the journey from the car park to the beach can be slightly tedious for some, as it involves walking over sand dunes. The drive from the sealed road to the car park is rocky, so caution is advised when driving a normal 2WD vehicle.

In terms of amenities, there are public toilets located at the parking spot above the beach. The beach is also great for long walks, with some rocks on the northern end that are good to walk through. However, it's worth noting that the waves can be quite strong, so visitors are advised to be careful when swimming. The beach is also a popular spot for line fishing.

Almonta Beach: Weather Today

📅 Tuesday, April 28, 2026
Today is a fair day for a coastal walk, though it is not ideal for traditional beach activities. With a maximum air temperature of 20.2 °C and significant cloud cover blocking the sun, it will feel quite cool by the water. The sea is currently sitting at 18.1 °C, which is too cold for swimming. You should also be aware that the conditions are quite rough, with large waves crashing against the shore that make entering the water dangerous. While the breeze is moderate, the combination of choppy water and lack of warmth means you are better off enjoying the coastal scenery from the safety of the dunes rather than heading into the surf.
