Nobody knows… most especially those who pretend that they do.
Happy New Year, in any event!

If you are “new” to Anvil Beach, it would be a good idea – before you proceed further – to see/read its earlier post
This one is the fruit of a visit/swim (my beloved did all of the swimming) at the end of an unusually hot day.
The featured image, taken at 6.03 pm on 18 March 2021, shows Anvil Beach’s “anvil”.

Very easily reached via sealed roads, but astonishing little-visited, Anvil Beach is deliciously wild.
It offers visual splendour, grave danger, and safety.
If you intend to swim there, you must very carefully select exactly where/when/if to do so, how to reach your chosen point of entry, and how/if you can safely return from it…most especially if the tide is soon to turn, or a weather change is imminent.

Lights Beach is a deal less than half an hour’s easy drive west, from Denmark.
Lights Beach car park sits just outside the eastern boundary of William Bay National Park.
The featured image and the one below were both taken from just below the car park’s edge; the wider-angle view looks south, whilst the one above looks west, along the National Park’s shoreline.

William Bay National Park is less than half an hour’s easy drive, west from Denmark.
Its two much-instagrammed, “iconic” attractions are Greens Pool and the almost-adjoining Elephant Rocks.
Ludicrously, the two “icons” are the only places where most visitors to William Bay National Park ever set foot.
Madfish Bay is also magnificent, dead-easy to reach, often deserted, and only a few minutes away from the oft-thronged/overcrowded Greens Pool!

It is pleasingly hard to believe that such wonderfully wild, unspoilt shoreline could be so very easy to reach.

Around one hour’s easy drive south from Pemberton, via Northcliffe, you meet the Southern Ocean at Windy Harbour.
To the east, hulking over its sheltered bay and its little collection of shacks and camping ground/caravan park, is Point D’Entrecasteaux.

The featured image (all photos copyright Doug Spencer, 27 October 2016) was taken from Yeagarup Beach, circa 30 kilometres from Pemberton.
The Southern Ocean’s shore was just behind me, as I gazed across the Warren River’s lowermost section.
To get there, we had driven through some of Australia’s most beautiful “virgin” tall Eucalypt forest, then crossed the Southern Hemispere’s largest land-locked mobile dune system.

This series will showcase Western Australia’s southernmost shoreline – from the mouth of the Warren River, through to Point Ann.
In most of the world “magnificent, wild, uncrowded, not even one house within sight” and “easily reached” are mutually exclusive categories.
Not here!

In 37 years of visits to Albany (on Western Australia’s south coast) we had failed to achieve a key ambition: to experience a major storm there.
A few days ago, nature finally obliged; the image shows Lowlands Beach at 3. 54 pm on Sunday 20 September 2020.
Joseph Tawadros provided this post’s suitably tempestuous music.
