Coolimba - WA

Coolimba Beach features a small jetty and a sheltered bay with seagrass meadows. It is often protected so that even on a windy day the beach is calm at the shore and wind waves are low. There is a fish depot and parking area at the jetty and some fisherman's shacks at the south end of the beach.

No camping.

NOTE: The shack settlement in the Coolimba area occurred through the uncontrolled establishment of squatter communities. Farmers escaping to the coast after the summer harvest in the early 1900s built the first squatter shacks. Professional fishermen started building their own shacks around the 1950s with the growth of the Western Rock Lobster industry. The shacks at Coolimba have now been removed, however tracks and old sites are still being rehabilitated.
