Oyster Stacks

Oyster Stacks is a renowned snorkelling site on the Ningaloo Reef within Cape Range National Park near Exmouth, Western Australia. Located along Yardie Creek Road, it features limestone rock stacks and a shallow sheltered lagoon with fringing coral close to shore. Part of the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area, it is notable for accessible reef snorkelling at high tide, diverse marine life and clear turquoise waters.

Visitors can expect a rocky shoreline with distinctive limestone oyster stacks fronting a shallow, sheltered lagoon that is part of Ningaloo Marine Park. At high tide, the lagoon allows easy snorkelling directly from shore over fringing coral with tropical fish, while at low tide the reef is exposed and snorkelling is not possible. The site has a small car park and information shelter, with no shops or lifeguard service, set against the arid Cape Range landscape.
