Salmon Pools (WA 414) is located in the western corner of Isthmus Bay, where the cliffs turn and trend south for 3 km to Peak Head. The 300 m long beach faces southeast, and consists of a double-crenulate, steep sandy beach, fronted by a beachrock reef along the central-western section, with an open eastern end (Fig. 4.99). Permanent rips run out the eastern end and at the western tip of the beachrock reef. The reef encloses a relatively calm lagoon along the western half in lee of the reef, however the water flows out through the western rip, so be cautious. A car park is located on top of the 50 m high bluffs behind the beach, with wooden steeps leading down to the beach, which is a popular fishing spot and also offers some right and lefthand surfing breaks running off the reef.
