Golden sands and safe swimming situated 21kms south-west of Harvey off the Old Coast Road. Myalup is a small, peaceful coastal settlement, with a population of only 200. “Myalup” means place of the paperbark tree, which comes from the Aboriginal word “mya” meaning paperbark tree. These trees are abundant throughout this area. Myalup lies at the southern edge of the pristine Yalgorup National Park — a haven for native wildlife, a bird sanctuary and a rare location for stromatolites (one of the first lifeforms known on earth). Renowned for its excellent beach fishing and unspoilt white beaches, Myalup is the perfect spot to get away from it all. The coastline is 4WD-accessible, but vechicles are restricted to the beach only. The large sand dunes provide scenic views over the ocean. Dolphins are frequently spotted along this stretch of coast frolicking in the waves. Myalup is a relaxed, sleepy hollow and a fishing fanatic’s dream!
