ELEPHANT ROCKS & ELEPHANT COVE @ WILLIAM BAY NATIONAL PAR

The Elephant Rocks is just about merely 10 minutes or less on foot from the Greens Pool beach which was adjacently located. Just that you need to be bit careful when climbing up the rather gradually sloping rounded rock boulders that are stained by Mother Nature throughout time.

Those elephant rocks are incredibly shaped themselves, standing on the beach and gazing out upon the Great Southern Ocean while towering above you as you enter the cove giving you a sense of perspective.

Otherwise, you may go back up to the tar-coated road above when you park the car and walk safely from there on. As we were left without much time before the full sunset that would turn the whole place into a pitch dark area, so we opted for this short cut but still rather a safe one. However, during rainy days you might want to avoid threading the boulders and use the proper road and as these rocks would be slippery when it’s wet.

So as we accessed the staircase at Greens Pool which descends between the rocks and ends in a beachy rock-crevasse, that allowed us to walk between the rocks and out onto the beach. We then walked around the rocky headland to the west until it merged with the Elephant Cove path.

Do those rocks remind you of some animals- elephant?

Yeah, hence the name! Hehe…

As it name suggests, Elephant Rocks looks exactly like a herd of elephants, paddling in the shallow waters and enjoying it in a degage manner. It’s definitely a popular spot and must-visit whenever you are in the South Coast for the beautiful Denmark.

So the giant rocky elephants standing together and facing into the waves of the Great Southern Ocean bravely.

Elephant Cove is alive with some creatures are built-in to their surroundings such as this astoundingly coloured crab, blending almost perfectly into a water-filled crack in the rocks.
