Canal Rocks

The beautiful granite outcrop that makes up Canal Rocks is part of the rugged Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park known for its excellent fishing and scenic bushwalking. A series of rocks jut into the ocean creating a natural canal hollowed out by the force of the sea. For the best and safest view, there's a bridge built across the smallest canal. The area is popular for fishing with salmon catches a big attraction around Easter time. There are some great bush walks in the area - the famous Cape to Cape walk passes by Canal Rocks with a route map from the car park to Wyadup. It's a two-hour round-trip hike and you'll be rewarded with stunning views over the Indian Ocean. You might even spot humpback or southern right whales migrating along the coast. Canal Rocks is about a three-hour drive south of Perth.
