- Pure white quartz sand and turquoise water — Little Beach is famous for unbelievably fine, bright-white sand that contrasts with clear, blue-green water; the steep dune-backed bay creates those postcard colors and feels more like a secluded cove than a typical coast.
- Snorkeling among granite outcrops and kelp — The headlands and rock shelves alongside the beach shelter patches of kelp and rocky reef where small fish, crabs and nudibranchs congregate; the water clarity makes short, shallow snorkels very rewarding without needing a boat.

- Short coastal walks and cliff lookouts — A quick walk from the carpark gains a ridge-top lookout that gives sweeping views of the bay and neighboring granite islands; the dune climb and cliff edges are perfect for dramatic photos and quick, satisfying hikes rather than a full-day trek.
- Wildlife watching and seasonal whales — The protected reserve around Little Beach is a hotspot for seabirds and several southwest Australian endemics, and during the winter migration months you can often spot whales moving along the coast from the headlands.
- Sunset from the headland and stargazing — With low light pollution and a west-facing outlook, sunset turns the white sand and granite pink, then the dark sky over the reserve makes for excellent stargazing—an easy, peaceful night activity after the day crowds leave.
