Little Grove is a suburb of the City of Albany in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. The suburb is bounded by the Princess Royal Harbour to the north and west. [2] [3]

Little Grove is situated on a peninsula south of Princess Royal Harbour. Directly across the harbour is Albany's central business district. Little Grove borders Torndirrup National Park in the east. [4]

It has been the location of sporting activities early in the history of Albany, with access by boats from across the harbour. [5] [6]

Frenchman Bay Road passes through the suburb.
