CURTIS BAY
About 1/2 hr from Busselton just outside of Dunsborough. Found between old dunsborough and castle rock. 10 minute walk from the car park (end of Gifford Rd). This sandy bay is surrounded by granite rocks and boulders. This secluded bay is only accessible by walking. Apparently good for snorkeling. The bay was named by Anthony Curtis who used to swim his cattle out to his ship and pull them aboard by their horns.
