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 Port Albany, Western Australia, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views.

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 Port Albany.
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.

Port Albany rests where the rich red earth of the southwest meets the bracing embrace of the Southern Ocean. It lies 1.7 km east-south-east of Albany, WA (from Albany, WA: bearing 107°T), and is situated 3.1 km south of Spencer Park. The air here carries the tang of salt and the scent of coastal scrub, a wild perfume that clings to the low-slung buildings and the weathered timber of the jetty. Gnarled banksias, their seed cones like ancient, bristly beards, crowd the sandy tracks that wind towards the coast, their resilience a reflection of the hardy spirit of this place. The landscape is a study in contrasts: broad, open bays that invite the horizon, and sheltered inlets where the water lies still and glassy, mirroring the vast, indifferent sky. Even the light seems to have a particular quality, deepening to a burnished gold in the late afternoon, casting long, painterly shadows across the dunes.
The history of Port Albany is inextricably linked to the sea, its fortunes waxing and waning with the ebb and flow of maritime trade. For generations, the harbour has been the lifeblood of the region, a vital hub for the export of wool, grain, and timber from the surrounding agricultural lands. The echoes of whalers and sealers linger in the salty breeze, a reminder of the tough, pioneering spirit that first charted these waters. Today, while still a working port, Port Albany has also found a new purpose as a gateway to the stunning natural beauty of the region, drawing travellers who come to explore its pristine beaches, dramatic coastal cliffs, and the abundant marine life that thrives in its clear, cool waters. The local economy, a blend of traditional industries and burgeoning tourism, hums with a quiet, determined energy, a testament to the enduring character of this coastal outpost.

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 Port Albany is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
