Mandalay Beach is part of the spectacular Rainbow Coast in Western Australia. Famous for its long white beaches and jaw-dropping views from the dune side boardwalk this beach has to be seen to be believed. If you visit during low tide you may even be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the shipwrecked "Mandalay" which beached here in 1911.
