West Beach (129) lies 1 km west of Robe and is the closest exposed surfing beach to Robe. There is a car park off Adam Gordon Lindsay Drive, with a 150 m walk down to the northern end of the beach. Waves average 1.5 m at the northern end decreasing slightly in lee of Cape Lannes toward the southern end. The waves produce a 100 m wide bar cut by several beach rips. The most hazardous section is just below the car park where reefs also occupy the surf. This beach is not recommended for swimming and should only be used by experienced surfers. It is however a popular spot for beach fishing.
