Goode Beach is a white sand beach located within Frenchman Bay on the southern side of King George Sound, approximately seven kilometres from Albany's town centre. The beach is known for its crystal-clear, sheltered waters, making it a popular spot for launching kayaks and stand-up paddleboards. Access is by road, with a car park located near the beach. The beach's character is significantly influenced by wind direction; it is sheltered from westerly winds, while easterlies can create conditions suitable for windsurfing, indicating potential chop for paddlers. The beach is situated within a quiet coastal locality adjacent to Torndirrup National Park, providing a backdrop of rugged coastal scenery. A key paddling destination from Goode Beach is Mistaken Island, located just offshore. At low tide, it may be possible to walk to the island, but otherwise, it is an easy canoe, kayak, or SUP ride from the beach. The island offers a lee anchorage in northerly winds. The waters off Goode Beach are noted for their clarity and are generally considered safe and inviting for water activities, with gentle waves within the bay. Dogs are permitted on the beach. Historical context includes its proximity to the site of a former whaling station, now a museum.
