He was unable to be revived.
Western Australian police told nine.com.au that the man's death is not being treated as suspicious and a report will be prepared for the coroner.
Acting South West Superintendent Andy Elliott told the ABC the man had "limited swimming abilities" and attempts to get flotation devices to him were unsuccessful.
Indijup Natural Spa is a popular tourist attraction in the region, with visitors often seen taking photos while standing on the rocks.
The death is at least the third at the site in the past decade.
In October 2020, a 23-year-old woman died after being swept off the rocks into the water with her friends' rescue efforts unsuccessful.
Four years before that, 25-year-old Matthias Bache vanished after jumping off rocks into the ocean at the tourist site.
Warning signs have since been installed highlighting the dangers of walking along the rocks.
