Description

 

A popular holiday destination where nearby lakes are a haven for birdlife. Original development in the area was in the form of two private land developments: Lakeside Estate and Preston Beach Estate. When gazetted in 1975 the name Yalgorup (place of lakes) was used but at the request of the Shire of Waroona the name was changed to Preston Beach in 1989. A nearby lake (Lake Preston) was discovered by and named after Lt. William Preston R.N. in 1829.

 

Martin's Tank Campsite is located off Preston Beach Road North and is operated by CALM.
