About Greens Pool and Elephant Rocks (William Bay NP)
Greens Pool is a sheltered, turquoise swimming cove in [William Bay National Park](/au/national-parks/wa/william-bay-national-park), protected by massive granite boulders that create calm, crystal-clear conditions even during rough offshore weather. Adjacent Elephant Rocks is a grouping of giant rounded granite boulders that resemble a herd of bathing elephants, set in equally turquoise water. Together, they form one of [Western Australia](/au/places/wa/western-australia)'s most visually striking coastal scenes, 15 km southeast of Denmark.
