This beach is incredible It has lovely white sand and you can walk out on the sand bar There are beautiful local fish that are rather inquisitive and if you’re lucky you might see a sea turtle Definitely worth the drive

This is a stunning beach, and as it is not really a great snorkelling spot it is usually pretty quiet. The shallow waters within the bay make it easy to swim and cool off. We snorkelled at Turquoise Bay and then retreated to this beach for a picnic and some peace and quiet.

Shark Bay - We left Billabong Roadhouse and drove on up the Highway until we reached the turn off for Shark Bay, known to the local Malgana people as Gutharraguda, meaning two bays. It is a World Heritage listed site for its beauty and abundant prehistoric life forms, evolution in action and wildlife refuges. It is made up of the Francois Peron National Park, the Shark Bay Marine Park and Hamelin Pool Marine Nature Reserve. Nearby is Shell Beach, a Discovery Centre, Eagle Bluff and a Discovery Trail - this is a great place for families - all the above is free and you get to see some amazing things and learn a little too. It is a sleepy little place but well worth driving from attraction to attraction over a couple of days.

We spent a good couple of hours here. Beautiful modern building with displays including Cyclone Vance (a great simulation room), the VLF installation/US personnel, WW2 info, settlement of the Exmouth area, natural history and a beautifully done Aquarium. Very well worth a visit for families or individuals.

Spectacular, safe snorkelling right at the ocean edge!! What a beautiful little piece of paradise this is - even when it is jam packed with travellers!! A great place for families with a perfectly safe beach for the little ones, plenty of colourful marine life easily accessible for everyone, awesome fishing and a great little bakery. It's a YES from me!! Can't wait for next year's return trip!
10. Thomas Carter Lookout Walk
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 23 reviews
Reviewed By Finlay122 - Perth, Australia
Great walk, not too challenging, but probably best not done if it's too hot as there is no shade and it takes a 2 - 3 hours to complete. The views of the canyons are incredible though and a great reward for your efforts. We walked the loop first finishing at Shothole Canyon view point - that way you feel rewarded - starting at the view is a bit like peaking too soon as there is not much to compare on the main part of the walk. We did not have a 4WD and tackled the long, rough road in a Suzuki Swift. It is not for the faint hearted, but if you take your time you can do it - we parked at the picnic area before Thomas Carter Lookout and walked the kilometre or so from there. Take plenty of water and make sure you have a hat.
