Australind Jetty Walk

Extending about one kilometre over the protected waters of Leschenault Estuary (Derbal Elaap), the Australind Jetty is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Australind.

It offers breathtaking views of the estuary, and you can also watch the windsurfers surfing further down the estuary. Be sure to spot people wading through shallow water scooping blue swimmer crabs, as well as fish and prawns.

The Australind Jetty was formerly Laporte’s Boardwalk and pipeline causeway.

Laporte Titanium (Australia) Limited opened its titanium dioxide pigment-producing premises on Old Coast Road on 1 January 1964. The arrival of this plant altered the mineral processing landscape of the wider South West and the surrounding community’s social and educational fabric.

Following the pipeline’s decommissioning in the 1990s, the jetty has been a popular attraction for walking and fishing.
