Preston Beach
A coastal sanctuary where the bush meets the sea, Preston Beach offers a unique kind of freedom. It’s one of the very few beaches in Western Australia where you can drive your car right onto the sand, making it a favourite for 4WD enthusiasts, beach fishers, and families looking for an uncrowded seaside retreat.
Whether you’re seeking a sunrise swim, a long barefoot walk, or an afternoon spent fishing in solitude, Preston Beach delivers. With vast stretches of white sand and rolling dunes, it’s easy to find your own slice of paradise. The waters are ideal for swimming (with appropriate caution of course!), especially for young children, and dolphins are often spotted cruising along the shoreline.
The town itself is a relaxed and welcoming place with a small general store supplying essentials and bait, as well as a local café/restaurant offering fresh coffee and good food. Footprints Holiday Resort provides visitors with accommodation, a swimming pool, and tennis courts, rounding out the experience with comfort and convenience.
For a more rustic stay, Martins Tank Campsite has brilliant amenities or visitors can book a stay at one of the area's holiday homes.
Nearby, explore the Heathlands Walk Trail, Lake Preston or Lake Pollard—locations rich with birdlife and seasonal wildflowers. Preston Beach offers more than just a swim: it’s a full experience of beachside simplicity and quiet natural beauty.
