Famous for beautiful beaches, granite mountains and it is classified as a biodiversity hotspot! The coastline of this area is the massive contrast between pristine beaches with turquoise waters and the fearsome might of the Southern Ocean. Albany is increasingly recognised as one of the best places to observe the annual migration of the Southern Right Whale.

Steeped in history, Albany is WA’s oldest settlement which is reflected in its well-preserved buildings.

Located only a few hours from Esperance, renown worldwide as having one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and Denmark, for its vineyards, agriculture and sheer beauty, Albany is regarded by the local community as a great place to live and raise a family. Albany offers diversity in education having 17 primary schools and 5 secondary schools, with both private and public options available.
