Dolphin Cove (WA 86) lies 1 km southwest of the Thomas River mouth and is a 500 m long southeast-facing moderately protected beach, bounded by bare sloping granite headlands and backed by dense coastal heath. The beach receives waves averaging less than 1 m and which usually maintain a moderately steep reflective white sand beach. There is a car park on the southern headland, with a 3-minute walk to reach the usually secluded beach. The car park provides good views of the beaches and bay and is used to view whales during the breeding season.
