Hamelin Bay Sunset

Since we spent a good while at the lighthouse, finishing looking at the beaches on the Cape to Cape track wasn’t going to be possible, so, we decided to pick one to see a sunset with. John has been true to his word to me that we would get to as many sunsets overlooking the Indian Ocean as possible.

We chose Hamelin Bay.

Hamelin Bay is a bay and a locality on the south west coast of Western Australia between Cape Leeuwin and Cape Naturaliste. It is named after French explorer Jacques Félix Emmanuel Hamelin who sailed through the area in about 1801. It is south of Cape Freycinet.

Hamelin Bay was notorious for wrecks occurring during bad weather – its exposure to prevailing weather making it a dangerous location for anchoring or mooring.

Where we were!

We had a peaceful day for our visit. Here are the photographs.
