About Double Beach

Get twice the coastal lifestyle in the Coral Coast’s booming city.

Double Beach combines the appeal of an impressive riverside residence with the incomparable value of a premium beachside address.

Double Beach offers twice the fishing, boating, swimming and other water sport opportunities.

And it has an idyllic, temperate climate on more or less the same latitude as the far more expensive (for the moment, at least) Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast in Queensland.

Double Beach also gives you twice the investment potential.

Beyond the incredible lifestyle returns, Double Beach also represents an extraordinary financial investment opportunity.

At Double Beach residents, visitors and investors have twice the natural assets to attract and excite them.

Take a look at the capital appreciation of land around Australia and internationally and you’ll soon realise that proximity to the water (river, lake or ocean) is the key determiner of outstanding capital appreciation.

Because Double Beach has twice the cornerstone assets, it’s fair to assume that its investment potential is greater than that of many of the leading existing coastal communities.

Twice the waterside benefits on the majestic Coral Coast.

Geraldton is located 424 kilometres up the coast from Perth. It is the largest city north of Western Australia’s capital and has a population of over 33,000.

Although discovered by Commander D. Dring in January 1840, the townsite of Geraldton wasn’t declared until 1851 and was named in honour of the colony’s Governor of the time, Captain Charles Fitzgerald.

The Geraldton of today would be unrecognisable to its founding fathers, although its title as the state’s ‘Sun City’ would still be recognised as entirely appropriate.

Geraldton has a daily average of eight hours of bright, warming sunshine, making it the ideal destination for anyone who enjoys a predictably pleasant, bright and dry natural environment.

At present, Geraldton is undergoing a dramatic multi-million-dollar facelift to literally turn the city around, with the once inland-facing Central Business District now fronting the city’s stunningly attractive foreshore and Champion Bay beyond.

The future of Geraldton appears no less brilliant than the sunshine in which this idyllic and substantial city now basks.

The railway line and port which formed the infrastructure on which the town’s agriculture and mining prosperity was built are now facilitating the latest resource driven growth at a dramatic pace.

As a brief tour of Geraldton will rapidly reveal, Geraldton’s future as the most important Midwest metropolis is assured.

The natural wonders of the Coral Coast, which extends north and south of the city, will also ensure that Geraldton’s status as a holiday-maker’s paradise will continue to be enhanced.

Twice the fishing.

It’s surely every fishing enthusiast’s idea of paradise.

The chance to choose between beach or ocean fishing and river fishing, in the one inspiringly beautiful location. At Double Beach you can fish for Mulloway, Tailor, Herring, Black Bream, Flathead and Whiting in the Greenough River.

Or there’s plenty of Mulloway, Garfish, Groper, Tailor, Trevally, Silver Bream, Flathead and Whiting just off the beach or man-made groin.

Or you can take your boat a short distance offshore and catch Coral Trout, Cod, Dhufish, Groper, Emperor, Spanish Mackerel, Snapper, Mulloway, Samson Fish, Trevally and Tuna or dive for the world famous Geraldton rock lobsters.

Twice the boating and water sports.

Double Beach provides both aquatic playground styles in the one, unspoilt natural environment, in a climate which actively encourages a healthy, varied, outdoors lifestyle.

To the west of the vast expanse of sea-fresh sand is a stretch of ocean which runs uninterrupted to the distant eastern shores of Africa.

For boat owners, there’s access to the nearby boat ramps for smaller craft, or the trip to Double Beach from Geraldton’s own marina and boating ramps takes half an hour or less.

Once off-shore there are fish and lobster to catch and countless reefs to explore by either snorkeling or scuba diving.

And of course there are unlimited opportunities for keen windsurfers to take advantage of one of the globe’s internationally recognised windsurfing hot spots, whatever the time of year.

To the east of the beach, there’s the far more placid but no less inviting expanse of Greenough River.

As you’ll soon discover, the locals already use it for a wide range of boating activities.

The rowers take advantage of the glass-like early morning surface.

The younger children play in the safe shallows at the edge and sail their toy boats, blow-up canoes and boogie boards.

And there are many who like nothing more than to just take a pleasant cruise up the river for a private picnic or a spot of peaceful fishing.

Twice the natural beauty.

The ocean beach and river beach experience, whilst wonderfully compatible, are quite different.

Vistas across the ocean reveal the consequences of nature’s extremes in dramatic ways.

Thunderstorms turn the sky into a hundred kilometre-wide stage of dazzling lightning and foaming surf all set to an awe-inspiring soundtrack of pounding waves and wind-driven rain.

And each evening, the sun turns on its own light show, each one slightly or unimaginably different from the last.

Sometimes it sears the clear blue sky with a fierce orange glow which can become blood red in its intensity.

On other days, it conspires with the clouds to create a sky-size canopy of pinks, greys, oranges, reds, purples and sky to midnight blues.

These are the kinds of images which many a photographer has captured to feature on postcards and calendars and in the tourism brochures which keep attracting more and more Australians and overseas visitors to this incomparable part of the nation.

The river views are no less magnificent but tend to be more muted and relaxing.

The water often serves as a gigantic mirror to the brilliant daylight sky or the clear, star-spangled night canvas of beautiful blue-black.

Perhaps what makes the river life so constantly fascinating is that it tends to be more varied than the ocean’s daily routine. You’ll see more birds and people on it and around it.

And more boating, fishing, cycling and walking activity drawn to it.

And of course every Double Beach homesite is within a comfortable stroll of the river and the ocean.

Or it enjoys stunning, panoramic views of either, or for the most privileged residents, both the ocean and the Greenough River.
