Shark Bay Worrld Heritage Discovery and Visitor Centre Manager talks about the many world class attractions on offer including the magnificent Shell Beach and unique stromatolites.
| The Shark Bay region is World Heritage Listed and we have beautiful iconic attractions.
There are three major attractions when entering the region. First you have the stromatolites, they are part of the reason why Shark Bay is a world heritage area. These living organisms are some of the oldest living organisms on our planet, they span back millions of years. Next stop, Shell Beach is a must-see, there are trillions of tiny white cockle shells covering the entire beach, you will not see a grain of sand in sight! Last stop, Eagle Bluff has a great boardwalk to spot range of wildlife including turtles, sting rays and sharks. In Denham you can discover Shark Bay’s rich history at the Shark Bay World Heritage Discovery and Visitor Centre and enjoy the facilities along the foreshore. Don’t forget to travel to Francois Peron National Park where the desert meets the sea and see the famous dolphins at Monkey Mia. For the adventure seekers, 4WD to Steep Point - the most westerly point of Western Australia.
Shark Bay is a great place to visit and we have attractions for people of all ages. It’s the perfect escape! |
