Storm Bay (WA 606) is a crenulate 900 m long, open east-facing bay, containing a moderately protected sandy beach, together with round granite rocks, boulders and reefs. The reefs lower waves to less than 1 m along most of the shore. The beach alternates between a low tide terrace and reflective conditions, with numerous rocks scattered along and off the shore. Seagrass meadows lie in the bay and seagrass debris often covers the beach. The bay is bordered by a caravan park and picnic area, with a large car park and boat ramp in the centre. Most boats going outside launch from here, rather than having to cross the bar. The area is also known as The Whaling, referring to its prior use as a whaling site.
