Glennies, also known as Glenfield Beach, is a pristine swimming and snorkeling beach located just north of Geraldton on Western Australia's Coral Coast. Protected from northerly winds, the beach offers calm, clear waters perfect for exploring the sandy bottom and rocky reef edges. The long stretch of uncrowded white sand backed by low dunes creates a tranquil setting. A local favourite for snorkelling, surfing, fishing, windsurfing and kite boarding, Glennies combines easy beach access with reliably good conditions for a relaxed day in the water.
