Cosy Corner is a sheltered beach within the Ngari Capes Marine Park on Western Australia's southwest coast, near Augusta. Offshore islands are surrounded by stunning reefs and dramatic drop-offs teeming with colourful marine animals, including the iconic giant blue groper. A limestone platform south of the parking area features spectacular blowholes that spurt water up to 6m high on rough days. The steep track down from the car park rewards snorkelers and divers with pristine underwater landscapes, though conditions require careful timing.
