Awesome beach to hangout. It's beautiful although the name doesn't suggest that. Amazing rocks around with blue water and white sand.

Beautiful beach ! Great scenery, would be nice to relax and read a book all day, was windy and choppy , one person was swimming . It was quiet considering it was a warm day. Small drive to get there but well worth it !

If ever there was a place that doesn’t reflect its name this is it MISERY BEACH It is the complete opposite it’s a beautiful place that makes you want to smile and be happy The sheer beauty of this beach and its surroundings is so spectacular really The colour of the water and the steep granite cliffs flowing down into the water side makes this place uniquely attractive Boarded by a Sandy white beach this place is just so breathtaking and perfect for a day out with the family It’s name should be more like Spectacular Beach which would be a better reflection of the location Beaches like this need a lot of infrastructure support to allow the public to go and enjoy themselves at these remote locations so well done to all of the funding bodies involved and the asset management maintenance people It’s worth a visit WA public you will love the place TC

Maybe it was the anticipation of going to Australia's best beach, or maybe it was the cloudy weather that didn't showcase the beautiful waters at its best. Or perhaps the marchflies biting us. We were so looking forward to this beach but we were sadly underwhelmed. We stayed long enough for some photos then ran to escape the marchflies.

It’s a beautiful beach. Unbelievable rock formation and white sand. A must visit beach if you’re in Albany.
