Smiths Beach, Yallingup: Luxury resort accommodation and super surfing

In Yallingup, Western Australia, Smiths Beach is renowned for its consistent surf breaks. But this Indian Ocean Beach also offers luxury accommodation at the Smiths Beach Resort, home of Lamont’s restaurant.

Smiths Beach in Yallingup, Western Australia, is one of the most attractive beaches in the Margaret River region. Located near a series of coastal attractions, including the Aquarium and Canal Rocks, this Yallingup beach has carved itself a reputation as a surfing hotspot.

Part of the appeal of Smiths Beach is in the looks. Set against an often turquoise Indian Ocean, this Yallingup beach has glorious white sand, and is backed by vegetation-covered dunes. It feels wild, out of the way and a brilliant find, even though it’s a short drive away from Dunsborough and the Margaret River wineries.
