Torpedo Trail

Starting from Yallingup Beach Carpark, this circuit track gives you a good taste of the southern parts of Yallingup, passing by Caves House Gardens along the way. Embark on the Torpedo Trail, a captivating three-kilometre path winding through a diverse array of coastal vegetation, especially enchanting during the vibrant wildflower displays of spring. As you stroll southward, behold the captivating turquoise hues of Smiths Beach stretching toward the expansive granite formations of Canal Rocks. Cast your gaze northward for panoramic vistas encompassing Yallingup township and the rugged coastline leading to Sugarloaf Rock. Follow the trail marked by blue indicators as it meanders inland through the coastal forest, offering a delightful descent into the tranquil valley of Yallingup Brook. Continue your journey around Yallingup township, concluding at Slippery Rock to savour sweeping views of the Yallingup reef and foreshore. With its easy accessibility and splendid vistas over Smiths Beach and Canal Rocks, the Torpedo Trail is a delightful excursion. Don't miss the opportunity to witness nature's vibrant spectacle of wildflowers amidst the pristine coastal landscape at the base of Cape Naturaliste, offering enticing side trips to nearby beaches around Yallingup. Let us begin by acknowledging the Wardandi people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
