A CHARMING COLONIAL CITY WITH GREAT BEACHES AND DRAMATIC CLIFFS
Albany is a port city at the southern tip of WA. It’s located only 418 kilometres from Perth and is famous for its rugged breathtaking coastline.
Choosing Albany as the place to spend your retirement years means living by some beautiful beaches. Little Beach is considered one of the best beaches in Western Australia and Middleton Beach is a popular spot with pleasant waves and soft sand.
Albany was the first place in WA where the European settlers set foot in. As a result, there are charming colonial buildings around the city, now transformed into museums and restaurants.
Whaling used to be an important industry in the region. You can visit Albany's Historic Whaling Station, which is now a museum, and take a cruise to see the whales up close when they migrate by the coast at Torndirrup National Park.
Retirees looking for a peaceful place with a friendly community can find in Albany what they’re looking for. There are great opportunities to connect with the local community. The Albany Region Over 50s Recreation Association encourages retirees to stay healthy and active, and organises activities like cycling, walking and dancing.
