Explore Windy Harbour, Western Australia, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Windy Harbour, 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 Windy Harbour, 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 Windy Harbour.
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.

Windy Harbour is a place where the land breathes in deep, salty sighs, its contours shaped by the relentless caress of the Southern Ocean. It lies 140.5 km south-south-east of Busselton, WA (from Busselton, WA: bearing 152°T), and is situated 36.2 km south of Pemberton. The coastline here is a raw, untamed masterpiece, a dramatic interplay of rugged cliffs that plunge towards a churning sea, and stretches of ochre-coloured sand that seem to stretch into an eternity of wind-swept dunes. The air itself carries a palpable weight, a mixture of brine and the dry, earthy scent of coastal scrub, a scent that clings to everything like a second skin. Even on stiller days, a persistent whisper of movement rustles through the hardy vegetation, a constant reminder of the elemental forces that have sculpted this remote corner of the continent. Sunlight, when it breaks through the often-brooding sky, casts a pale, ethereal glow, bathing the landscape in a muted, almost melancholic beauty.
The history of Windy Harbour is etched not in grand monuments, but in the quiet resilience of its people and the enduring rhythm of its natural environment. For generations, the bounty of the sea has been the lifeblood of this locality, with fishing vessels a common sight, their weathered hulls bearing testament to countless voyages against the powerful swells. The surrounding land, though seemingly austere, has also yielded to the steady hand of agriculture, with pockets of grazing land and vineyards demonstrating a determined effort to coax sustenance from the soil. This blend of oceanic reliance and agricultural endeavour has forged a unique character for Windy Harbour, a place where a deep respect for the elements is woven into the fabric of everyday life, and where the vastness of the surrounding wilderness fosters a sense of both isolation and profound connection.

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 Windy Harbour is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
