Reported walking route: A shared walking and cycling path with spectacular coastal views, with the most scenic 3km section running from Middleton Beach to the Ataturk memorial.. Confirm leash rules with council signage on site.
Ellen Cove Boardwalk is a dog walk in Albany, WA, where the route offers spectacular coastal views of King George Sound, Middleton Beach, and Princess Royal Harbour, with opportunities to spot whales during migration season.
The walk
Underfoot it is boardwalk and sealed path.
Lead rules
City of Albany manages the route. This is a lead-on route: the leash stays on from the car park to the exit, with council signage the only exception if a section is ever re-signed.
Carry water for the dog: drinking points along walks like this are rarely signed, so plan as if there are none. Early morning and dusk are the comfortable windows in Albany for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.
Worth knowing
There is enough dog-friendly hospitality around Albany to turn the walk into an outing; the suburb guide sorts out the options. Luke Pen Kalgan River Walk is the other local walk worth comparing.
