Highlights
Outing Highlights
Flat beachfront runs and scenic boardwalks
The most popular lines follow the beachfront from Middleton Beach to Emu Point, while the boardwalk links Middleton Beach Jetty with the city centre; the beachfront section is largely flat and punctuated by benches and photo stops.
Panoramas over King George Sound and Princess Royal Harbour
Several photographic spots and panoramic outlooks make this ride less about pace and more about taking in the coastal sweep — ideal for slow, deliberate rides and repeated stops for photos.
What’s included: helmets, locks, maps and drop‑off
Hire comes with helmets, locks, a Go Cycle Amazing Albany map and a free bicycle drop‑off and pick‑up service to accommodation in the Albany city area, Middleton Beach or the Albany Visitor’s Centre.
What the day feels like
What the seven‑day hire feels like
Collect a bike, strap on the supplied helmet, take the included map and set out along sealed shared‑use paths that thread beach foreshore, boardwalk and town. Ride flat stretches to Emu Point for broad water views, or choose the hillier Middleton Beach–City Centre link for varied terrain and more outlooks; benches and mapped photo spots make it a measured, observational ride rather than a race.
