Turquoise Bay

Highlights

If you love swimming and snorkelling, Turquoise Bay is the perfect place for you! Located in Cape Range National Park near Exmouth, this beach is famous for its white sand and clear blue water. Just a few steps into the water, you’ll find the Ningaloo Reef, home to colourful coral gardens and hundreds of bright fish. It’s like stepping into an underwater wonderland!

The Turquoise Bay Drift is a must-try adventure. The gentle current carries you over the coral reef, where you can see turtles, harmless reef sharks, and even stingrays. Whether you snorkel on your own or join a guided tour, there’s always something exciting to see. Make sure to bring your goggles and sunscreen for a day full of fun!

This beach is perfect for families, but always check the conditions before swimming to stay safe. Turquoise Bay is a must-visit for anyone exploring Western Australia’s Coral Coast!
