Bundegi Beach

Bundegi Beach is a sandy beach on the eastern side of the North West Cape near Exmouth in Western Australia, fronting the sheltered waters of Exmouth Gulf. Located about 10 kilometres north of Exmouth town along Murat Road, it is known for its calm, clear water, fringing Bundegi Reef close to shore, and boat ramp. The beach is popular for swimming, snorkelling, kayaking and fishing, offering views across the gulf and easy access to Ningaloo Marine Park.

Visitors can expect a long sandy shoreline on the calm, sheltered Exmouth Gulf side of the cape, with shallow turquoise water and Bundegi Reef lying a short distance offshore. The beach has a boat ramp, car park and open sandy area backed by low coastal vegetation. Conditions are generally calm compared to surf beaches, suitable for wading, swimming, snorkelling over coral and fish, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, with expansive gulf views and sunsets.

The Exmouth Gulf area has long been used by Aboriginal groups and was developed from the 1960s as a service town for the Harold E. Holt Naval Communication Station. Bundegi Beach has served as a coastal recreation and boating access point for the Exmouth community on the gulf side of the North West Cape.

The beach lies within the traditional lands of the Jinigudira and Baiyungu peoples of the North West Cape and is part of the Ningaloo Coast region valued for its marine environment, recreational fishing and boating culture.
