Australia / Albany, Western Australia
Location ID: #10090230
Nanarup Beach is a beach in the Great Southern region of Western Australia, 20 kilometres east of Albany.
The beach is white sand and has stairway access at the western end where Taylor Inlet discharges into the ocean.
Approximately 4.2 kilometres in length, Nanarup has scattered beachrock reefs at the eastern end for a distance of about 1.0 kilometre then curves to the southwest; the remaining length is a wave dominated surf zone that extends as far as the inlet. The beach is mostly backed by scarped 40 feet calcarenite bluffs to the east and unstable dunes to the west.
The far western end of the beach has the 20 metres granite boulders of Islet point connected to the shore by a small tombolo forming a sheltered pool.
