A short walk trail from the parking area takes you to a lookout over Elephant Rocks in William Bay National Park, with the trail then descending between the rocks to a sheltered cove. This is a great place for a swim, but be aware that strong currents sometimes run through this cove. Providing a stark contrast to the granite that dominates this section of the coast, a strip of black dolerite lines the eastern edge of the bay.<br/><br/>You can walk from Elephant Rocks around the rocky headland to Greens Pool.<br/><br/>William Bay National Park is very popular in peak periods such as school and public holidays with limited parking spaces available during this time. Visiting the park outside of these times may provide you with a more enjoyable experience.<br/><br/>Camping is not permitted in William Bay National Park.

One of Mother Nature's most inviting swimming pools, Greens Pool is among Western Australia's most iconic beaches. A picture postcard of clear emerald waters, pure white sand and sculpted rocks that shelter the bay from the swell beyond, it's a top spot for swimming, snorkelling and diving. <br/><br/>A short scenic drive west of Denmark, passing forests of tall timber giants, brings you to this serene setting in William Bay National Park. Getting to Denmark is a four and a half hour drive south of Perth, or you can hop on a flight to Albany and pick up a hire car.<br/><br/>Sit and drink in the scenery, explore the rock pools, snorkel, dive, or take a short stroll over the headland to Elephant Rocks, where nature has shaped huge boulders into giant elephant-like sculptures bathing in the clear waters.<br/><br/>A long and peaceful walk along this stunning coastline rewards you with breath taking views of Madfish Bay, Waterfall Beach and an abundance of wildflowers in spring.<br/><br/>

The Valley of the Giants Treetop Walk gives you a bird's eye view of some of the tallest timber giants on Earth - Western Australia's majestic tingle trees. Climbing 40 metres into the forest canopy and meandering through the treetops for 600 metres, the walk trail is the first of its kind, designed to maximise views and minimise impact.<br/><br/>This peaceful and exhilarating experience can be encountered 15 minutes east of Walpole, on Western Australia's south coast. It takes approximately four and half hours to drive there from Perth and also features on many extended coach tour itineraries.<br/><br/>The Tree Top Walk sits within the Walpole-Nornalup National Park and Walpole Wilderness Area, offering spectacular views over densely forested hills. Descending to the boardwalks below to explore the Ancient Empire Walk, you'll enter a grove of towering veteran tingle trees. These giant eucalypts are found nowhere else in Australia, or on Earth as a matter of fact, and some have been standing for more than 400 years. <br/><br/>Be sure to add this multi-award winning attraction to your holiday wish list and take a moment to sit and reflect on the special nature of the tingle forest.

Peaceful Bay is a picturesque coastal holiday destination on the edge of the Southern Ocean just 33 kilometres east of Walpole town site. It is part of what was once a large coastal grazing lease used by landowners from the Warren and Cranbrook areas as summer grazing for their cattle.<br/><br/>It's a chilled-out seaside holiday spot just a 40-minute drive from Denmark or a five-hour drive from Perth. You can also take a well-earned rest stop here if you're making the epic journey on foot along the Bibbulmun Track - one of the world's greatest long-distance trails.<br/><br/>If you just fancy a leisurely walk, join the Bibbulmun Track at Peaceful Bay and enjoy the rugged south coast scenery on the way to Point Irwin.<br/><br/>In spring, the dunes and coastal bushlands are carpeted in the colourful blooms of wildflowers.<br/><br/>If you prefer to explore on four wheels, there are several unsealed tracks leading through the Walpole-Nornalup National Park.<br/><br/>Head for Conspicuous Cliff with a pair of binoculars, between July and October, and watch for spouting, breaching and tail-slapping whales as they pass by on their annual migration.
