Beautiful View is the fifth studio album released by Australian singer Wendy Matthews released by BMG in Australia on 7 May 2001. It yielded three singles "Free", "Beautiful View" and "Like the Sun".
Matthews wrote the majority of the album on the north coast of New South Wales, Australia. She chose the name "Beautiful View" for the album because she wanted to "link it [the album] to this special place where I can look to the islands in winter and watch the whales frolicking in the ocean.""Wendy's Backyard - A Room With a View!" . Wendymatthews.com.au. Retrieved 5 July 2009.
