Make the most of the clear, tranquil waters of Chinaman’s Beach on the Murchison River. This swimming spot in the heart of Kalbarri is popular among families due to its safe swimming conditions.

Swimming not your thing? Make use of the Barbeque and Picnic Area to enjoy a lazy afternoon on the soft beach sand.

Chinaman's is the only no-fishing area in the Murchison River, please watch for the signs! If you are a keen fishing enthusiast, please move towards the River's mouth and point rocks where fish are plentiful.

Whilst you're here, learn more about Kalbarri's attractions...
