Nice beach Bob. I would love to be there with my Alveys.
Tis' indeed a magic place not far from the Valley of the Giants (Tingle tree Eucalypts that grow about 250 ft tall and some have a base around 25t in diameter. They are quite rare and all forests are now in natural parks.
The beach itself is at the mouth of the Irwin Inlet on the south west coast.
Much of that coast is taken up by national parks so no dogs allowed and fortunately this is one of the few beaches that allow dogs.
The beaches are wild and dangerous and subject to large rips and king waves that can sweep you off the beach without much notice so you have to be careful swimming, and head to high ground if the waves recede more than usual.
To get to that beach you start from the tiny seaside community of Peaceful bay "E" , and drive or walk along the usually 50 m wide beach for about 2 miles until you get to the inlet "I".
Usually we park at E and walk the dogs on the beach but in the photo above we drove our Subaru on the beach with a bunch of mates as we were fishing and picnicking.
As you can tell it gets very windy - sometimes uncomfortably so.
Our dogs love that beach. Most drivers are sensible but we do see the odd "eedjet" screaming along in their pickups or 4WDs.
Big dog discovered a fly blow roo in the dunes at the top of the beach and rolled in the remains. I cannot get the image out of my head of the smeared fat, gore and maggots dancing on the the dogs forehead and back!
The amazing thing was after a couple of swims and lots of sand frolicking she arrived back at the car with no visible evidence of this although there was still a very unpleasant odour that lingered until she had a bath.
