Little Lagoon

Little Lagoon is a shallow, sheltered coastal lagoon located about 5 km from Denham in the Shire of Shark Bay, Western Australia. Part of the Shark Bay World Heritage Area, it is known for its calm, clear turquoise waters, white sandy shoreline and tranquil natural setting. The lagoon is a popular recreation site for swimming, kayaking and picnicking, offering safe, family-friendly conditions and scenic views within a protected marine environment.

Visitors can expect a calm, shallow lagoon enclosed by low dunes and sandy beach, with very still, clear water ideal for wading and swimming. The site has a small beach area, picnic shelters, gas barbecues and toilets set among natural coastal vegetation. The surroundings are quiet and undeveloped, with views across the lagoon to the Indian Ocean. Activities are low-key and nature-based, with opportunities for kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, snorkelling, birdwatching and photography.
