About Jurabi Turtle Centre
Jurabi Turtle Centre is an open-air interpretive centre in Jurabi Coastal Park, about 13 km north of Exmouth in Western Australia. Located within the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area, it overlooks a key nesting beach for green, loggerhead and hawksbill turtles. Managed by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, it provides educational displays about turtle biology, conservation and the Ningaloo Reef ecosystem.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect an open-air shelter with interpretive panels, turtle biology displays and information about the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area. The centre overlooks Jurabi Beach and the Indian Ocean, with a coastal dune setting, viewing areas and nearby beach access. There is no staffed building; the site is self-guided by day and used as a meeting point for guided turtle interaction tours at night during nesting season.
