Thunder Bay Blowholes

Highlights

Thunder Bay Blowholes is a natural wonder that will leave you amazed! Located near Shark Bay in Western Australia, these blowholes shoot water high into the air when the waves crash against the rocks. On a windy day, it sounds like the cliffs are breathing, and in rough seas, water sprays up to 20 metres – it’s like a mini geyser show!

The area also has stunning views of the Zuytdorp Cliffs and plenty of spots for taking photos. Be careful near the edges as the cliffs can be slippery. This is a fantastic place to explore and experience the raw power of nature!

Adult Supervision Recommended

The cliffs and blowholes can be dangerous due to high waves and sudden wind gusts. Adult supervision is necessary for safety.
