Thistle Cove is one of those hidden gems that you’ll fall in love with the moment you get there. It’s absolutely stunning, with white sand, crystal-clear water, and surrounded by some seriously impressive rock formations. I loved finding this little nook tucked away in the cove, which is perfect when the winds are up – you’ll feel like you’ve got your own little private beach to yourself!

It’s also a great spot to explore a bit and swim in the sheltered water, or just chill and take it all in. The views from the rocks around the cove are worth the scramble, so make sure you pack your camera. If you’re after a more relaxed vibe, this spot is perfect to escape the crowds.

There’s camping nearby in Cape Le Grand National Park, and while it’s not pet-friendly, you’ll still have an amazing time here. Plus, it’s a bit of a must-see on the way to Hellfire Bay, so don’t miss it if you’re in the area!
