Cemetery Beach Park

Reviewed By polsta - Perth, Australia

We were fortunate to Witness some Flatback turtles laying their eggs on separate occasions at dusk at Cemetery beach. The volunteer “ turtle patrol” offered information about the process and how not cause undue stress to the turtles. We were advised to return at 7 AM in the hope if seeing some hatchlings make their way to the ocean. We were lucky to witness one little turtle make it to the water. Their were several reef sharks in the shallow water, hopefully the little turtle didn’t get eaten.

Pretty Pool

Along the necessarily industrial coastline of this mining port town, the Pretty Pool park area is a fantastic place to score some shade and relax. Expect to be there with families and fellow travellers enjoying the unique aspects of the port and bay vistas
