Local Attractions - Things to Do and See

Swimming, Snorkelling, Body Boarding & Beach Sports 

Myalup Beach is situated between Preston Beach and Binningup, all offering the chance to swim, snorkel, and body- board in the surf. During the Summer months, Myalup has a bollarded area, ensuring visitors are safe from passing 4 x 4 drivers.
