Doesn't this look relaxing? Quiet? Peaceful?

Whalers Cove Albany is one of the perfect places in Albany to take a picnic blanket and basket containing the decadent delicacies that Albany has to offer to take a break and breathe.

Whalers Cove scenery and views are across one of the world’s great natural harbours.

Even if the water isn't inviting for a swim, the views make it a pleasant place to sit and soak up the scenery or contemplate the meaning of life.

There is some bench seating which caters for this, plus a toilet for those who have been there a while.
