Food Scene
Emu Point Cafe is an amazing place to grab a coffee, cake, or to have brunch on a Sunday morning. Its over looks a beautiful bay which is enclosed and great for a safe and peaceful swim. In the summers you can enrol your children in swimming, and for me this has fond memories as I did this in my summers as a child.

This main strip cafe has some of Albany's best coffee. It also does a great BLT that I would recommend. Walk a leisurely 10 minutes and you will be at a great lunch spot.

Named after musical legend Bob Dylan, this is one of my families favourite places to get dinner. They are a family run business that have been in Albany forever. Located near the harbour, it is also close to walk to the Anzac Peace Park once you have finished your meal. I would definitely recommend the Dylans Burger.

If you continue along Marine Drive you will arrive at Middleton Beach, home to Albany’s boardwalk. This board walk stretches along the coast and can be used to spot whales and seals. In addition the boardwalk also has several pit stops of important ANZAC locations, including statues shipped from Gallipoli to Australia after the end of WWI. This is a great historical walk, as it includes several spots to read facts about Albany, its flora and fauna, and its rich whaling and war history.

Sightseeing
Anzac Memorial
On top of Mount Clarence you can find Albany’s beautiful ANZAC Memorial. This is one of many spots in Albany that is dedicated to celebrating the life of ANZAC soldiers, particularly those in WWI. For many of these young men who lost their lives during this First World War, Albany was the last of Australia to be seen as the ships left this last port. On Mount Clarence you can find a Horse Memorial on the very top of this mountain, as well as the Albany Forts that also include a museum of WWI artefacts. Today some more dangerous forts have been closed, however there are still some that can be walked through. To get to this Mount Clarence Memorial you can take a scenic drive along Marine Drive, which over looks King George Sound.
