Parks & Nature
A famous surfing spot close to town. Also a lovely place to watch the sunset with a glass of wine and a picnic on a still night. Large carparks and tiered grassy areas make this a wonderful place to visit and view the waves, and the surfers riding them.
On almost every day of the week you will find people riding the waves.
The beach itself curves around the point with the waves reaching the bottom of the dune stairs with swells at high tide.
The River Mouth is also close by to the north, and to the south is a calmer beach which allows dogs. A little further south is Gnarabup Beach with a nice little cafe called the White Elephant. There are walking tracks between all these beaches.

To get to the falls, park at the Moses Road carpark. On your left, you will see toilets and a viewing platform and to the right is the path to the falls. At the start of the path, there are three small wooden posts and some large bushes on either side. As you are walking along keep a lookout for the Cape to Cape Track signs - if you can see them you are going the right way!
The path varies from flat and easy to rocky and uneven, there are also few big sand dunes that are a breeze coming down, but physically challenging climbing up. Factor in time to spend exploring the falls and allow yourself enough sunlight to get there and back. Remember to take plenty of water!
Once there, the view is breathtaking and well worth the effort. At the start of the walk, you can see and hear the waves crashing against the shore and surfers enjoying the ocean. There is a bridge with a winter stream running underneath it, you then walk out into a red dirt plain before the land dips and weaves and Quinninup Falls appears.
