Misery Beach has beautiful views of King George Sound with its rugged coast and islands. It is only about 200 metres long with pristine squeaky white sand.  On a clear day you can see the tops of the Stirling Range. I am not sure where the name comes from but as the whaling station is just a few hundred metres away, maybe it was named back in the time it was still operating, when the whale blood would wash ashore here. Today it is a beach to enjoy and contemplate life as you listen to the soothing sounds of the waves.
