Prevelly is a townsite in the South West region of Western Australia. It is located on the coast at the mouth of Margaret River at the northern end of Calgardup Bay. At the 2006 census, Prevelly had a population of 157.[1]
Privately subdivided in the early 1960s and named Prevelly, the shire petitioned for a townsite to be declared in 1977 and it was duly gazetted in 1978.[2]
The town was named after the Preveli monastery on Crete.[3]
The Cape to Cape Track passes through Prevelly.
