Two Rocks
Western Australia · Australia
"Imaginatively" named after the two large limestone features off the beach, Two Rocks is a quirky little seaside town with an unusual past that is worth passing through. A giant "King Neptune" statue looks out to sea and is a fun photo stop. There are also a few obscure links to the Pinnacles at the Two Rocks marina which are included in the stop.
