Explore Hamelin Bay, Western Australia, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Hamelin Bay, WA map and move it around to re-centre it. You can change between standard map view and satellite map view by clicking the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. You can use the zoom buttons on the lower right side of the map to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets — plus a labelled MGA grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Hamelin Bay, Western Australia, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Geoscience Australia National Base Map — seamless topographic mapping covering the mainland, Tasmania and the external territories. NATMAP 250K shows the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 map sheets, mosaicked nationwide — the printed sheets generations of Australians navigated the outback with. The search box finds any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Hamelin Bay.
Reading the map like a paper sheet. Click Grid to overlay the Map Grid of Australia (MGA), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as an MGA grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what emergency services and search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load, which across much of inland Australia is most of the time.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Hamelin Bay breathes the salty tang of the Southern Ocean, where the land slopes gently towards a coastline of dramatic limestone cliffs and sheltered sandy coves. It lies 70.4 km south-south-west of Busselton, WA (from Busselton, WA: bearing 203°T), and is situated 11.9 km north-west of Augusta. The air here carries the faint, sweet perfume of coastal heath mingling with the briny spray, a constant reminder of the vast, deep blue that defines its western edge. Jagged outcrops of ancient rock, weathered by millennia of wind and wave, punctuate the shoreline, their surfaces softened by a verdant carpet of hardy coastal vegetation. Beyond the immediate littoral, the terrain rolls inland, a mosaic of undulating pasture and dense, whispering peppermint trees, their slender trunks a pale grey against the vibrant green. Sunlight, when it breaks through the often-cloudy skies, has a particular clarity here, illuminating the subtle shifts in colour from the bleached sands to the deep emerald of the bush.
This stretch of coast, once a vital, albeit rough, harbour for sailing ships, whispers of a past tied to timber and whaling. Early settlers found anchorage here, their livelihoods dependent on the bounty of the sea and the rich resources of the surrounding forest. Today, Hamelin Bay’s economy is a more gentle affair, largely sustained by tourism drawn to its natural beauty and, most famously, by the majestic stingrays that frequent its shallow waters. Visitors gather at the jetty, a weathered sentinel against the elements, to witness these graceful creatures glide through the clear, cool depths, a spectacle that has become a hallmark of the locality. The nearby vineyards, stretching across the fertile inland plains, add another layer to Hamelin Bay's character, their neat rows of vines a testament to the region's capacity to yield more than just timber and fish.

These are among the most commonly searched location details for any Australian city, town or locality.
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name; offers Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets as base layers; overlays a labelled Map Grid of Australia (MGA) so the map can be read like a printed topographic sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as an MGA grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from Geoscape Administrative Boundaries (GDA2020) and enriched with GeoNames and Australian Bureau of Statistics data, matched by coordinate proximity — ensuring the correct Hamelin Bay is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
