UPDATE | PEPPERMINT GROVE BEACH CLOSURE

Published on Tuesday, 10 November 2026 at 9:43:12 AM

The whale carcass was removed by crane last week however; as there is still quite an odour and in the interest of community safety, Peppermint Grove Beach will remain CLOSED for the time being.

The Shire will continue to monitor and review the situation and know this will not be an overly popular decision with many of our beach-loving community however; we make this decision only with a view to keeping our community safe.

We strongly urge you DO NOT swim in the area and keep your pets away from the site as there will be unavoidable remnants in the sand that may not be safe.

PLEASE abide by the signage and continue to find other safer areas to partake in a salt water dip for the time being. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
