About Honeymoon Cove
Honeymoon Cove is a small sheltered sandy cove at Point Samson on the Pilbara coast of Western Australia, within the City of Karratha. Located near Johns Creek Harbour and the historic Point Samson jetty, it is known for calm turquoise water, white sand and rocky headlands. The beach is popular for swimming, snorkelling and fishing in a quiet natural setting away from larger town beaches.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a small, sheltered horseshoe-shaped cove with white sand, clear shallow water and surrounding rocky headlands and low coastal vegetation. The setting is quiet and relatively undeveloped compared to nearby town beaches. There is open beach area for swimming and wading at high tide, exposed rock pools and reef at low tide, and views across to Johns Creek Harbour and the Point Samson peninsula. Facilities at the cove itself are minimal, with more amenities in the Point Samson townsite a short walk or drive away.
