LOCATION
Stingray Beachhouse is 50 metres from the beach at Emu Point.
It is the perfect location for that ultimate beachside getaway.
Emu Point, one of Australia’s most beautiful coastal locations, is surrounded on three sides by water. It has large expanses of grass and peppermint trees which generate an atmosphere of peace and serenity and enable one to truly relax.
LEISURE ACTIVITIES
Swimming
Emu Point is home to several of Albany’s safest swimming beaches, providing ideal swimming conditions for children and non-swimmers as well as anyone who loves to swim or frolic in the water.
Fishing
Excellent fishing locations across the road and down the road, popular with both locals and tourists. Catch your own squid as well as fish.
Walking
Walk along the beach to Middleton, 4km, or around the harbour to the marina.
Cycling
The cycle path goes past Stingray.
You can follow it to Middleton and around the headland to the town centre and beyond, or, head the other way toward Oyster Harbour.
Birdwatching
The coastal heath stretching between Emu Point and Middleton beach is home to a wide variety of native birds so enjoy a morning or evening stroll observing and listening for the different birds. Observe the locals on the beach as well - pelicans, oyster catchers.
Dining
Enjoy breakfast and lunch at the local Emu Point Cafe. Or stroll down for coffee and cake.
Many leisure activities are accessible from here without the need to get in your car.
Swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, birdwatching, tennis, lawn bowls and golf facilities are within easy walking distance. The harbour is an ideal and safe canoeing and kayaking spot and is also very popular for stand-up paddle boarding.
Vac Swim
Take advantage of the Vacswim classes which are held here throughout January. You can avoid the hassles of parking and make swimming lessons easy and pleasurable by relaxing under the peppermint trees whilst the classes are on. Stay for the whole day! Walk home when ready.
