Forrest Beach is a rural locality of the Shire of Capel in the South West region of Western Australia, located on Geographe Bay. In the east, a section of the Tuart Forest National Park is located within the locality while, in the south, it stretches to the Ludlow River.[1] [2]
The Shire of Capel and the locality of Forrest Beach are located on the traditional land of the Wardandi (also spelled Wadandi) people of the Noongar nation.[3] [4]
Two heritage-listed homesteads are located within the locality, Seaview and Rootfield,[5] with Seaview dating back to 1863, having been built by early settler James McCourt, originally named Fatfield. It subsequently changed names and owners on a number of occasions until adopting its current name in 1885.[6]
