Jurien Bay Marine Park

Jurien Bay Marine Park is a protected marine reserve along Western Australia's central west coast in the Shire of Dandaragan, extending from Green Head to south of Wedge Island and encompassing islands, reefs and seagrass beds. Established in 2003, it protects diverse temperate marine ecosystems, Australian sea lion colonies, and limestone reef systems. The park is notable for snorkelling, diving, fishing and wildlife viewing in clear turquoise waters near the town of Jurien Bay, about 220 km north of Perth.

Visitors can expect a large offshore marine park with clear turquoise water, limestone reefs, extensive seagrass meadows, sandy beaches and offshore islands. The park is accessed from Jurien Bay town, jetties and boat ramps. Activities centre on water-based exploration including snorkelling, diving, boating, fishing and wildlife watching. Islands such as Boullanger, Whitlock and Escape Islands are visible offshore and host sea lions and seabirds, with access regulated by sanctuary zones.
