It is home to a caravan park and numerous holiday units which provide accommodation for visitors to the Albany region.

Middleton Beach is bounded by Wollaston Road and the Albany Golf Course to the north, King George Sound to the east and Heritage Park to the west and south.

[7] In the early years of Albany's settlement, Middleton Beach provided a handy spot to off-load supplies and stock onto shore as some of the larger boats could not navigate the entrance into Princess Royal Harbour (the main port).

The rebuilt hotel was finished in 1911 and became more popular as a road was built connecting Albany town to Middleton beach, as before the only way to get there was by boat or bush track.

Then in 1990 it was demolished by Paul Terry, who had a dream to build a 5-star boutique, colonial-style hotel with bar and restaurant.

Middleton Beach boasts a jetty at the southern end, called Ellen Cove, and in summer a pontoon (a floating structure that can support many people) is placed in the ocean for enjoyment of swimmers.
