Giant waves buffet the coastline along Lights Beach which is just outside the eastern boundary of William Bay National Park.
Lights Beach has three seperate beaches, one with a 'princess pool' where waves crash over rocks, pour down a waterfall and carve a long curving path back to the ocean. Part of the Bibbulmun Track.

Safe for families and children due to the rock reef close to shore. This is truly one of the most magnificent destination beaches along the South Coast, with its snorkelling, rock climbing, rock jumping and safe turquiose swimming lagoon. Located in William Bay National Park, west of town (approx 15km), close to Elephant Rocks, Madfish Bay, Waterfall Beach. Truly awesome.
