The Canal Rocks Boat Ramp is located beside the scenic Canal Rocks lookout in Yallingup and provides convenient access to the Indian Ocean. The facility features a single concrete boat ramp with a wooden jetty extending out towards the water, along with a large paved parking area nearby. With plenty of space available, parking is generally easy and free of charge.
The large car park also serves as the starting point for the Canal Rocks Boardwalk, which leads visitors across the water towards the Canal Rocks Bridge. From the bridge, you can enjoy impressive views of the rugged granite formations and the ocean beyond. A public drop toilet is also available at the far end of the car park.
Canal Rocks is a popular destination for fishing, photography, sightseeing and enjoying the coastal scenery. Sunset is particularly spectacular, with the changing light bringing out the different shades of the Indian Ocean, from pale and almost white tones to turquoise and deep marine blue. The clear water and dramatic rock formations make it a memorable place to explore.
The timber walkway provides an easy way to venture further out over the water and experience the coastline from a different perspective. Along the way, visitors can watch waves crash through the narrow channels between the granite rocks and take in panoramic views along the remote coastline. The area is impressive in almost any weather, but the scenery can be especially dramatic when larger swells and storms move through.
For those looking for a little more adventure, there are sections where visitors can carefully climb across the rocks. Snorkelling and fishing are also popular in the more sheltered areas, although visitors should follow all directional and safety signs and take care around the rocks and changing conditions.
With free parking, public toilets, a boat ramp, fishing opportunities, walking trails and spectacular coastal scenery, Canal Rocks is a worthwhile stop for anyone exploring the Yallingup and Busselton region.
